Charles letter written from the battlefield in France to his friend Norman Cloes in Ontario ca 1917
“You know I am sorry that I have not wrote before as I have not had time. We have been busy over here just now…” Charles Wass, France circa 1917
France 22nd
Well Norm just a few lines to let you know I am still all right and hope you folks are the same. Well tell Eula that I have got my eyes open yet looking for that parcel which you have sent. As it is not arrived here yet of course you know it takes quite a long time to get to me. You know I am sorry that I have not wrote before as I have not had time. We have been busy over here just now.
This is from Pte Charles Wass 865750 52 Batt BEF France. You see Norm that we have to put our address in the centre of our letter.
Please send me something to read as we can’t get anything over here. Send me a good book if you can. I am waiting for a letter from Walter Tansley. If he joins up tell him that when he gets to England tell him to come to the 52 Batt then we can be together over here. Well this is all just now as I have got to clean up for morning parade.
Goodby, give my love to Eula and the Children.
From Charlie
