Gilmore Beatty Canadian Machine Gun Corps Reinforcement Depot, Ln. Branch, B.E.F. France. some address dont get it mixed up with some advertisement, Well Gladys we are having lovely weather here at present and there is some difference between Canada and here, also there are some difference between the two people.
