Copy of a letter from Albert French to his father in 1916
Albert compares France to England. He says they are moving again but not sure if it is to the firing line. There has been a lot of fighting with some NCOs having narrow escapes. He talks about German aeroplanes raiding the lines. He comments on the introduction of conscription but thinks things need to happen quicker in order to win the war. He talks about a row in the Fitting Shop over money. He complains about the food. He is not sorry he came over to France but hopes it will be over by Christmas. He will try and get leave once he has been there three months.
