Letter from Charles Wyndham Wynne to his mother, Alice Katherine Wynne, 18 April 1916
QUO FASET GLORIA DUCUNT R.A MESS
FORT DUNREE
BUNCRANA 18.IV.16 Dear Mother. The order you sent on
to me was evidently a muddle
at George V Hospital; who
apparently took me as still on
leave. It has been sent on
to C.O Lendall.. I am of course
not going. Now that Mullins
is O 6 here and Fitzgerald
at Lenan I am sending in
my R.I.C. application through
them. I must say I think 2 General Arthur might have
bent a little finger! I am practicing up
colours for the Medical from
a card of coloured wools !
I'll soon be quite safe I think. The weather has been
awful here. Terrible gales —
its very hard to imagine
it is getting on for the end
of April. Blackwood's brother deleted text
very nice man with his little
boy were here on a visit
last week end. Blackwood's
brother is a very nice man
very quiet. He had a terrible
knocking about in France.
and his nerves are gone.
Also his wife died a couple
of month's ago so its rather
sad for him. The little boy
was a very smart young
fellow. It occurs to me have you
a press for stamping the
address on note paper like
this piece is stamped? Shall
I get one made for Tyrones 3 and have it sent? I think
it is very good value. The vegetables were simply
top hole and the Mess is clamoring
for more! We had the Seakale
served up as a course to itself
the French method I believe; I
think it is much the best as
otherwise you don't get half
the full value of it. I will
send P.O for postage Now I need must stop to
write some more letters! I don't think I've been two bad this
last week your love
Charles.
