the job is done and it was really cruel <lb/> coming along the trench before and when it's <lb/> finished it will be all boarded with <del>cl</del>wire <lb/> netting along the sides and stays every yard with <lb/> smaller ones in between to prevent the sides falling <lb/> in. It ought to last some time — though really I don't <lb/> know whether anything will hold out long against <lb/> the rain. <del>Will</del> We are billeted just beside where <lb/> I was with the advance party and I am sleeping <lb/> in the same place as before — very comfortable <lb/> with a nice stove. We start out at 8 .0 and work <lb/> till 3.0. when we come home & have dinner and <lb/> are finished for the day — a fairly long spell but <lb/> much better than the way they did it before when <lb/> they came all the way down for dinner and <lb/> then all the way back again; another party came <lb/> in last night which brings the total to nearly 120. <lb/> So if only the weather takes up we ought to be able <lb/> to get on well with the work. There's another <lb/> Officer on another job here. So I'm not alone of an <lb/>evening. But still I shall be remarkably glad when <lb/> I get back to the battery again. I shall then I expect take <lb/> my turn of duty with the rest as the telephone system <lb/> is pretty will fixed and won't want much attention <lb/> in a place like this.The day seems to have taken up a bit <lb/> now (3.30 pm) it has stopped raining and isn't looking so bad. <lb/> I suppose one can't expect much more decent weather <lb/> now. I am grand myself as I hope all are at home.</p>
