MacKay, Gordon Rae
It is great to watch the fire & hear the roar of the guns from the rear but I guess it wont be so great when we get in front of them I have been up in front of the guns a couple of tiimes & a party are going again tonight on working parties but haven't hit any active service that is in the bloodthirsty way as yet.
The being up there where only a few shells were falling seemed to make me more certain than ever that I well get through O.K. for the farther up we went the better I liked it. Of course the novelty is apt to wear off & I may get sick of it soon but I hope it will soon be over for after all theres no place like home & Canada at its worst has this old world beaten a thousand times over.
