Consists of a letter from Archibald Douglas Mason to his aunt Jean from France. He describes a 'great attack made all along the Western Front' and remarks that when his division captured a town the residents were so overjoyed 'they threw their arms around their necks' to show their appreciation. He also comments on his difficulty handling his nerves during the fighting, and on losing a lot of his 'chums'.
