1 19/12/15 My dearest mother I have really not a scrap
of news but hope this may reach you
on Xmas day to takeyou all my best
wishes. I think there is no doubt now
that we shall be here for Xmas & probably
even for some weeks longer so we are
arranging to spend a jolly a day as
possible. The 13 th officers are to dine together
at the little café where I am billited & there
is to be a sing song afterwards. I expect
we shall have quite a cheery evening.
The enclosed P.C.will be interesting to
you especially the one marked 1 & the two
marked 2. The other 3 are of places we
have been to. It will be a quick Xmas
for you all this year & I am afraid
it is almost too much to believe that
the War will be over before the next one
2 comes round, however nowadays it
seems better not to think too much in advance. Was in the Roman Catholic
Cathedral this morning (1) & enjoyed the
music so much. They played god save
the King on the great Organ & I never thought
it could sound so fine. Wish my fondest love to all your loving son James Am only enclosing 3 post cards, the others
I will send with my next letter. 3 5 SAINT_RIQUIER,— L'Église — Détail du Portail—LL. 4 5 ABBEVILLE. — L'Église S t Vulfran — Détail du Portail, — LL. 6 7 ABBEVILLE. — Rue Alfred Cendré. —LL. 8 9 On Active Service Incl 28th 23 rd Dec/15 Mrs. S.C. Davidson Seacourt Bangor Co. Down Ireland 19/12/15
