The weather past week might be compared first week in June at home and ‘spring fever' is prevalent. The front is only a few miles away and we {in ‘rest camp’ after being in the fir line of trenches.

Next you see a machine with a bull's eye—the allied type—start up to play with him, and in a few minutes you can hear the put, put, put of the machine guns as they circle 'round each other.

A French man darted after them and started to hurn up machine gun ammunition and broke up the party. Next old ‘Anty’ gave 'em a greeting and they sailed back home. It was a wonder some of the machines dld not come rolling down. “I walked over the hillsg mile some time ago fo see the of a German plane that a French- man ‘got’.
