Will you please excuse only short hurried notes just now? There is a
tremendous lot of work to be done in connection with the recent
fight. Reports of all sorts are being called for and are all wanted
at once. I am acting Adjutant and must do all I can. I don't know
when I shall be able to give you any description of what took place
on Tuesday night, but I shall do so as soon as I can.
They have taken us back a bit to rest and re-fit, and will likely
re-inforce us from the 2nd/6th Battalion at home. We shall need a
good many Officers and men, and we don't know whether they may still
require us,--short though we are of both. I had a good sleep last
night and am quite well though rather tired out. The weather is very
good, and we have much to be thankful for. I haven't even written to
the Colonel yet to tell him what happened to his Battalion after he
left it, but I must try to do so to-day if I can.... I am being
greatly helped.
