Letter - 25 March 1916 - a swim in the Med

Athol writes home to mother. He has received some more mail, 3 tins of chocolate and notes that 2nd Camel Company does not wish to remain as the garrison at Sollum.

Sollum
25-3-16

Dear Mater,

A mail arrived yesterday 38. 39. 40. and the 2 parcels of 24.1.16 also 3 tins of chocolate all came to light. Nothing has happened since I wrote two days ago. We are still here doing nothing and dreading lest we be left to garrison this place. It would be alright for about a month but after that Aden would be a change.

I'm just going for a swim though it is quite cool today.

Love to Pater and Aunt P.

Yours lovingly,

Athol
