B.E.F.

Dear Mr Gouldsbrough, ⁴⁵

I am writing to let you know that I have got through the War, thank goodness without a scratch.

Now that the War has ended I hope it will not be long before I get back to resume my duties once more, I know for a certainty I will appreciate them more than I did before the War,

I saw by the papers that the news of the Armistice been⁴⁶ signed caused great joy and excitement at Home, I can assure you the joy it caused here was unrivalled.

We are in very comfortable billets at present, in the village of Mouscroon⁴⁷ quite close to Tourcoing.

Please remember me to Mr Atkinson, and the other members of the staff.

There is so little to write about that I will have to close wishing you a very Happy and Merry Christmas. Please excuse this short note.

Yours sincerely,

Stewart Roy
