Dear William :- Just a few lines to let you know we are well at present hoping you all the same, only I have been troubled very much lately, and even yet with sore feet on these long marches we are having from the trenches and to the trenches is very trying on sore feet, but I have stuck to it as so far. We went into the trenches for 6 days and just came out for 6 days rest, some exciting times there, but do not worry everything is going to come out allright. I sent a parcel from Bramshott did you ever get it. How is all at Westfort  The following articles I want you to sent me by return mail.

1 box of Zam – buk.

1 can of Dejongs Cocoa.

1 can of Rexall foot powder.

This will be all for this time, so good-bye for now. Write soon with love to all. From Pte. W. Johnston
