FROM THE FRONT.
"Well, we've been through the thick of it, and I've come out with a bit of shrapnel and a few scratches" (writes a soldier from Sydney who was once a teacher). "Rather fortunate, I reckon. If I'm lucky enough to get back to Australia, 1 intend looking up those youngsters I used to teach, and tell them a, few facts about bravery. When I think of the milk-and-water sop I used to teach them at civics and moral lessons, I blush. I've seen bra-very that would fairly make the shirkers of Australia gasp. The strefceher-bearers are wonderful, and if I only had time I'd write you of the nurses, the doctors, and a - chaplain who gave his life foa: his country—but my memory is good. Wait till J. get home, deaT old home."
