Anzac Task

Dear Sister , We have been very busy for the last few weeks and have got through a great amount of work. We are much better off again as regards potatoes and other foodstuffs for we have had a great amount of stores. we shall be here for a time yet anyway it looks like it with such a large amount of stores aboard. Ships here, there and everywhere now. During the First World War, it's so hard because trenches were long, narrow ditches dug into the ground where us soldiers lived. They were very muddy, uncomfortable and the toilets overflowed. These states caused some other  soldiers to grow medical problems such as trench foot. We can smell the stink of blood and spoiled  flesh can surprise even trained soldiers. 

My hands  are very sore, so chapped, and my left hand has got several aching on it and they are so irritating. I could scratch it to bits. Have you been receiving the books I have sent you dear. I am very pleased to say dear I am keeping very well indeed, and I trust you are the same.
