Front Line Letters From Downe in Wartime

Downe writes home from the front describing aerial activity and excitement as Macgregor and 44th battalion members are accounted for. He mentions a missed meal, rainbound days due to rheumatism, a motor lorry, and hearing rumors of a French Somme advance. He asks about George recovering from chicken pox and notes seeing friends like Frank Hoy, Dugh Lewin Lewin, Jack Bolton, Clary, and Percy MacKinnon. He plans for a four-hour shift on the phone and references official notices and forthcoming letters.
