December 15, 1916 - Letter to sister Bessie from Bramshott Camp, England where Alphonsus' tent is under quarantine. He thanks Bessie for the package of tarts and cake that she sent. He mentions that some of the 161st had gone to France and speaks of the number of fellows that are there from Teeswater.

This is great Kent! Yes he mentions Harold and his brother Bill Skilling, both uncles of my husband David. I'll have to check their blogs to see what they were doing on that date. Harold had gone over earlier than Bill.
