Both l-e'tâ€" ters were receive-:1 by Mrs. Rolo- ertson, ‘mother-in-law and mothez respectively of the writers Dz- Fraser is on the staff of the Can~ adian Army Medical Cows and was recently honored for bravery bv King George. Captain Rob e-rtso'n is a University graduate in civil engineering and has dis tinguished himself for bravery and it is expected he, too, will be a recipient of the King’s honors Following are the letters: Dear Mrs. Robertson: Receivou‘. vour last letter a few days ago but have moved twice since. We. are no v in a little village spell ed like the thin-gs a door swings on but pronounced like dug. I have had a great job the last three-days collecting and distrib uting respirators to the troops. Have been in all the places yo: see mentioned in the communique-s The roads here are very pretty but of all the tu'rnings, windings and twistings I ever saw. As the driver of the car said, they do no: know-how to pronounce the name of the town they live in, so al- though there were sign-posts an: I had a map, we had some time finding our way about. For in- stance. the Rue des Vaschcsâ€"the street of the cowsâ€"was in an out ofâ€"the-wav hole in the corner that looked like its name. I enioyed it very much though, and after the war am going to apply for ‘1 job as guide, touring the W11." zone of France and Belgium. See ‘ Roy quite often. It is fortunate we are billeted so near. as some we never see or know where they are to be found. Like a picture in one of the papers. One woman said to the other, “I see Mr Basil be home again. I wonder if he be in the same regiment as m v 'son. It been called the British Exâ€" peditionary force.” It would be mighty hard to find anyone at that address. We have a goal. and two kids among the transport boys. The other day the Quarter- master was giving the boys 3 lecture for driving pegs through their blankets to make shelters and giving them' fits. When he finished, the goat was just be- hind him and let out a Baa-a Rather spoil-ed the effect of the calling down. Yesterday as L was driving along in the motor [we passed a regiment, dirty and muddy, just coming from the trenches. It was the Grenadier~ Guards, and I noticed a very voung-looking officer, boyishâ€" looking, trudging along at the head of a company. They camr into the village and billetcd where we are. {It was the. Prince of Wales. He has filled out very much since I saw him in London. Had five-o’clock tea last night with the English officers of an Indian Field Ambulance. The» were a fine lot of fellows: had been out here since. October There was a sight the night we were at Ypres I shall never for lget. In the midst of all the burst- ‘inlg shells and confusion there was 2 Tommy sitting on the side 0. the rt ad, where he had built a little fire, and was making himself a pannikin of tea. There were many sights that night that wii’ never be forgotten. It has been cold and wet for the past few days and all the officers excep: three of us have gone into billets HONORED BY KING GEORGE W.

Fraser. Dear Mother: We are just “standing by” packed up 1ead3 to move to a different place in the line, so I am taking advant age of it to write my letter. 1 have been sleeping in my 51 eepinur bag under my rubber sheet out in the vegetable garden beside an onion bed. I noticed some ro, ses coming out in the garden yesterday; so as a result I have a little hay fever. The country 'is very sunny and dusty iust now anyway It wont matter so long as I dont go and sneeze our IsomeVV here near the Germans Some of us officers went out on horseback last night to see our new trenches,'and compared with Isome we have been in. they are lregular palaces. I never saw 'such elaborate communication trenches and so long. all paved with brick and stone. You have probalby read a lot of details of 'the Ypres show and none of us were sorry to get away from that neck of the woods. They didn't give us much of a rest behind the line but pushed us to another place where there had been hot fighting going on. The British hlad taken the Geiman front line. to take the nastysnarl of trench- es and redoubts behind. The Ger- mans are great on building these little places behind their lines and filling them with machine guns. and they are very awkward L0 handle. After attacking about five nights in succession the Canad: laxns cleaned the Germans out for about 700 yards behind and our new line was consolidated with a good gain for us. It was a rotten piece of land, lon and flat. with the German guns on a hill be- yond. The place was cut up with ditches and mud. I stepped int: one ditch to help lift a wounded man. out who had fallen in on his face and sank up to my hips and had to be hauled out. The English troops are starting to call the Canadians the “'hite Ghurkas be- cause they fight so well. Our iob in the attacks has been to have sand bags and shovels and Wit".- Vvith working parties to follow upand consolidate any gains, r:- pair shell holes in trenches. etc IThe work is exciting enough. One iof mv sappers (mv bodv £11311} ‘ ltOOk a German prisonei himself the othe 1 morning. Found him 1V ing in a drugâ€"out pretending he was dead. A gentle jab f11m 111'- Jlbavonet made the fellow sit up {and take notice. The sappe 1 said. . “Give me that," and graz_>bed his helmet, a beauty, off him and imarched him off to the infantry. l have three or four helmets, batâ€" tered ones, but cannot send then: out. It is funny to see some of the Canadians, an odd one or ,so wearing a German helmet around, perched up on a wagon seat. The wounded fellows are very plucky, some of them apolo. gizing for the trouble they are giving. The other morning when we were through with our work I turned my sappers on and we. got a lot of wounded out. I can scrape away with a jack-knife now and it doesn’t bother me at all. I told one doctor there we wOuld be putting him out of :1 iob. He had his hands full, so didn‘t care, especially as the Germans were still dropping in shells and bullets. I rode into a city near here yesterday and had a fine hot bath in a nun- nery (Seminary\used by an ambu lance corps for bathing purposes. Had a walk around town and felt quite civilized for a change. I heard yesterday Jim is o. k Am feeling fine mV self â€"Capt H. R. Robeitson, 2nd F. C0,, ’C.E. Two Speed Events Daily. Fireworks Every Night. New Steel Grandstand. Midway Better Than Ever. A. M.
