« on: Monday 13 November 17 22:43 GMT (UK) »
I've recorded below what I think it says, along with the parts I can't read. Would appreciate it if someone could check what I've typed and fill in the missing -
Dear Walter,
Many thanks for your further letter & I enclose the one which you require & which I hope will assist you at Fridays Board. Have just returned from a holiday in the South of France & visited ?? & also the whole of the Somme Battlefield. Principally the places I ?? I was right though Albert I got within a few yards of the place where you and I were in March 18. It was very interesting. though most of the trenches grown over & disappeared by now. Also went around High Wood, Delville Wood Abbe Wood where I was wounded in Sep 16 & it was easy to remember ones way about there.
?? & wishing you the best of luck with the pensions people on Friday
Thanks in anticipation
