I have never felt so well in my life, and, my word, I can eat--any time
and all times. We get plenty of real good food, and tea or coffee. You
will be rather surprised to hear we are served with roast beef, lamb,
boiled beef, bully beef, cheese, bacon, jam, marmalade, large and small
biscuits, onions, carrots, spuds, celery; in fact, we are living like
lords. But we can’t get any London shag (that is the worst rub), nor
any fag-papers, at least not with gum on them: _Pte. C. A. Porter, Army
Service Corps_.
