Letter from hospital

I thought I should write to let you bash IM safe and IM recovering. I miss you and the stand-in give everyone a hug from me and tell Rosier I confide shes being good. The hospital Is constantly got new soldiers coming In suffering from nervous exhaustion and scale of measurement shock too so IM non the only one, the doctor said It Is an Injury to the nerves and told me to rest and they are putting In place electric shock treatment.All the nurses are very sympathetic save sometimes when they think we cant hear them they call us all weak and say we are co contendds. Im not suffering as much as most, a young gentleman has been learning to walk once more yet he still wants to get back to the frontline. Yes, am returning to the frontline soon so thats wherefore I took this opportunity to write. We had strict orders not to take prisoners, no matter if wounded my first trade was when I had finished cutting some of their wire away, to empty my magazine on 3 errands that came bulge o ut of one of their deep dugouts they was bleeding badly begging for them to be put out of their misery.They cried for mercy, but I had my orders, they had no feeling what so ever for us It makes my head Jump to think about It. star time I was In serious danger I was almost completely paralyses with fear. I was designate with Taylor (a fellow soldier) on the fire-step of a trench during an intense bombardment,when it seemed certain that we must be killed at both moment. Shots fired around us each moment threatened to be the last. I was conscious of savage the fabric on my top to prevent my teeth from chattering.If I had been alone on that occasion I believe that I would be dead now it was the presence of others that saved me. Its not all been the like that, one evening me and Owen was in the barracks and I received a letter from you for my birthday and it kept me acquittance for so long, but everyone has a breaking point weak or strong, courageous or cowardly- war frightens eve ryone my breaking point has now unfortunately came. Give my love to everyone, Yours sincerely
