Letter from Roy Bruce to Helen Bruce

I have changed my address
and when you write
to me now you must
address letters

Headquarters 30 Infaltry Bde Egyptian Expedt Force

This is an Irish
Brigade and nearly
everybody is Irish, and
they are so bright and
full of fun.

Spring is coming
here now and all
the hills are getting
green, and covered with pretty coloured
flowers, lots of red
poppies and many
others purple, yellow
and blue that I do
not know the name
of. It is so pretty.

Robin is here
with me, but he
does not like it much as he says the paths
about the hills are
too stony for him.

He is very well.

I hope you have
been having a good
time lately.

Good bye child
heaps of love and
kisses from
Daddy .
