  get soon makes holes. The soup

  potted meat & tongue will make a

  nice change. Ta muchly for the

  book & battery. You might send a

  bulb for lamp next time as I have

  broken two & we are miles from a 

  canteen now. Oxo of course is always

  useful & once or twice lately we

  have had an issue. Our only 

  shortage in rations is bread & for

  that we get biscuits, rich, figs &etc

  & you see figs, butter & marmalade

  is hardly the same as the toast

  butter & marmalade we used to

  have. The rations are really excellent

  & plentiful but everyone seems to 

  miss the bread. I wonder if you

  could get me an acetylene lamp

  - not a bicycle one - but one to

  burn in a tent or dug out. I 

  also want a kettle if you can

  get a compact one that will

  hold a quart or more.

    Think I shall want some
  

  under clothes too when the weather
