The censor in France used the scis- sors liberally on a letter sent bx a 'Kingston soldier, Sergeant Geos Brooks, from Belgium on June 0 his brother, A. L. Brooks, 322 Bruns- wick avenue, Toronto. The portions of the letter, however, which has just reached Mr, Brooks, contain some thrilling references to the terrific fighting in which so many brave Can- adians fell, in the early days of the month around Hooge, Zillebeke and the Sanctuary wood. Sergt. Brooks was evidently close to General Mer-" cer during the charge made hy the enemy, but portions of the letter | Ji where the general's name is men- tioned have been deleted. The rem- nants of the letter to hand patched together read as follows: "No doubt long before this reaches you, you will have heard about the attack Fritz hurled at the Canadians in this part of the salient. .
