4th June 1916 - Albert puts on a brave face....
Dear Dad

Just a line hoping you are quite well, as I am still alive and kicking, and in the best of health, and getting on quite all right. I can tell you it isn't like home at all here, rather dull. I don't bother about the shells and snipers' bullets very much. Still, if you keep cheery you are all right. The war will have to end sometime, won't it?

...I should like to see some of the fellows at home. They would die, not being able to swank about and go to theatres. Still I don't mind a bit being here as long as we buck up and and do something...
