They have already sent some of the fellows who came over with me including my best pal. We had been together ever since we were in the cookhouse at Chatham. I can tell you I miss him too. I hope this will find you well. I will write a letter later. Address so far is 146571 Sgt G. Davies, No. 3 Coy. R.E. No. 4 G.B.D., B.E.F., France. Kindest regards to you all, Gordon".
