SALISBURY LETTER The grin on the majority effaces to-day betokens good news, and we have some. We heard that we are to move for sure- soon. We have just had a glorious week of dry weather, and all look the better of it. We have had some very windy nights lately, and some of the tents, were blown down. One was burned, and some of the men's equipment was burned, too, and it was only by the,timely thought of one of the men that the whole line of tents did not go. He threw a blanket over the next tent and saved it before it got well alight. I have a vague remembrance myself myself of somebody.--I believe Ross Mc n eard --driving our tent pegs one night (or perhaps perhaps one morning, was it?) I can t be sure. We were three pegs from disaster, I believe, believe, which was pretty close. We had our church parade to-day in the open air, the first for some time. It was cold, but the sun felt good. I noticed something very curious this morning which brot the war very close to thé service. There was Maj. W. Beattie, of Cobourg, our chaplain, preaching to S2fve men's souls, and not a thousand yards away there was a company of Canadians at the butts, practising firing to fit themselves for dispatching souls with bullets. We sang "Nearer, ray God, to Thee" to the sound of the reports of the guns, and to a great many, I am sure, as I looked around, it meant nothing at all unusual. In Bowmanville it would cause quite a stir, I am sure, but here it is an everyday affair. Discipline is being carried to extremes here just now and the boys begin to feel it. The other evening we were told there-, would be a tent inspection, and. that after a long route, march of 15 miles in 5 hours, which is a day's march of the English regulars. regulars. Orderly officer came round at 6 30 p.m. and it was dark then, so he flashed an electric torch in the dour of the tent, and -- horror of horrors 1--there were a few tufts of grass (carried in on the men's boots, of course) on the tent floor. We were reported for a dirty tent, and Ross MacHeard and •'Happy' had to parade jto the captain whom, of course, (again) "dismissed "dismissed the case". Two meals had been served between the time we returned and when the officer came around. Gordon Graham, our "heavy weight champion eater" and poet sat down.with.a wrinkled brow, and a writing pad in his hand. Everybody in the tent held " their breaths to give his brain room to expand, and this was the result sung to the air of "Where did you get that girl?" Why don't you clean your tents ? Oh, you dirty -- 1 Why don't you clean your tents ? Tell me on the level. You will be reported, ■ Hung, and drawn, and quartered; Oh ! oh 1 oh! oh 1 What a dirty mess you have here; Gee-1 I.wish that I had a broom, I'd clean up, I'd clean up, By jingo, how I'd clean up; He'll come round at midnight And flash his "blooming" flashlight, Ohl ohl Why don't you clean your tent? We started up the lines, and in .a quarter quarter of an hour the whole- battalion was singing it. It's now a company song for the march, and is very popular. We are having long route marches every day now, increasing the distance every march. Irifefquite good to walk thru the towns ana to see somebody who is not in uniform. I wonder what some of the people would say to see the "old town boys" on the roadside during these marches when a halt is called fur lunch, with a quarter of a lo f and jam in abundance-part abundance-part of it smeared "kid fashion ' on each side of their faces, and a contented contented grunt sounding from behind the bread once in a while. "Arè we downhearted?" as we said be tore NO. Its true, some of us are light headed just now--had our hair cut with number "0" clippers, which is as close to the skull as you can go, without shaving. Hope the town is still busy as regards trade. , , , Now we are doing these long marches, sox are going,scarce, as a couple of days will wear any sox in holes--in the boots we have. The boys are, on the whole, good and fit. Harry Ireland went to the hospital this week to have a varicose vein cut out--noth ng serious" Heard Walter Kelman was in the hospital, too, but I don't know what is wrong there. He has been away quite a time as a carpenter, building huts, so I have not seen him lately. lately. Ira Scott has left us, and there was quite a vacuum left where he used to be, until "Biscuits" expanded to fit the vacant place, which he does. In fact, he even overflows that, as well as his own, as he generally did. Ira comes to pay us a visit now and again, but he is watched so much just now, he doesn't stay as long as usual. Last Tuesday he got another re_ cruit for the gun section, in the shape of one of our pots of jam. Perhaps he wanted to find a better home for ir, but we doubt if there is a better place for our jam than in our own tent. Don't think there is any more to tell you this time Kind regards to everybody from the boys here. We received from the "Ladies of Lanark" some sox, handkerchiefs, and good Canadian tobacco, which is as scarce as fine weather here,for the 42nd,whom we are with in "H" Co., so we were inc uded in their Xmas gifts. _ Dan D., 8433- Bustard Camp, Jan. 17» *9*5 HURRY!
