Letter from Roy Bruce to Maud Bruce

EL ARISH 25.12.16.

My dearest Maud :

Just a line on
Christmas day to let you know I am
still flourishing and fit after the
recent hard work and fighting.

The old 8 th did very
good work, and I expect some
decoration for one of my subalterns -
particulars later.

You will have seen
all details in the papers long before
you receive this.

We are still very busy
and at present there is no time
for writing.

Much love
Roy
