It is difficult to overtake all that seems to be before me waiting
attention just now, but I am well and glad to be able to do it....
It will be some little time before I take up my new duties at
Headquarters.... The Headquarters' Staff consists
of:--Brigadier-General S. W. Hare, commanding No. 3 Brigade Area,
(including S.R. Brigade; Royal Field Artillery; Army Service Corps;
and Field Ambulance Corps): (2) Captain E. S. Girdwood (Brigade
Major): and (3) your unworthy brother (Staff Captain). So you see I
shall have dealings with all these different arms of the Service.
