Dear Mother, Father & all,

We are just going up into the line & although I do not expect to get hit there is always the chance. I have been thinking of you all today; more than usual as it is Sunday, but hasn’t been much like one I expect – from one getting ready to go to service or sat down for a quiet time.

We have been sitting & laying around all day in a cellar, but I shall soon start out. The shells have been going over both ways; mostly to the Germans.

Good night all of you

My very best love

Your loving son and brother

Eustace

“Where evening shadows never fall

And Thou, Eternal Light of life

But Lord of all”
