Except for a bad cold and having lost all my belongings, I am none the
worse. The thing I am sorry about is that it all happened so soon and
sudden, and I hardly had time to look round. But I am ready for the
next “Day excursion to Berlin.” I have one consolation, and that is I
killed two Uhlans and wounded one before they captured me: _A Trooper
of the Dragoon Guards_.
All Smiles!
Much amusement was caused during yesterday afternoon by some remarkable
legends chalked up on some transport wagons passing through. Such
sentences as “This way to Berlin!” “Kaiser killers,” “Kaiser’s coffin,”
“Vive la France!” and sundry other information marked up in chalk by
the dusty, but jovial travellers, caused people to stop and smile:
_Lance-Corpl. F. E. Hunt, Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry_.
