During his long period as a “P. 0.W.” he has “celebrated” three birthdays, including his 21st., in camp. • A group photograph shows Pte. Coulter in the “household” as he calls it—a group of four. They include: J. (Jimmy) Everest, of Hamilton. Prior to enlisting Pte. Everest vvas an employee of Messrs Ell's and Burnand. The remaining are’ “Tommies.” Pte. Coulter says: “Winter is very nearly here now anth our garden is practically bare.” Pte. Coulter expected to* be engfged cutting down trees for firewood during the winter period.
