Dear Mr Elliott,

The only thing we are talking about just now is the likelihood of moving. It appears fairly certain that we are leaving at the beginning of June for divisional training at Seaford near Brighton. We are all anxious to be off of course & rather strange to say, everyone thinks that the work there will be much lighter. Certainly no one can do more than we are doing. Night after night we go away from barracks tired out. Our battalion is doing almost twice the work any other in the division is doing. The outdoor life is splendidly healthy & we are all quite sunburnt.

There is no time to write far more fully just now, but I will do so at the earliest opportunity.

Kind regards
Sincerely Yours,

T. Coulson 27.5.15
