A Letter From the Front
The following is a letter published in the Launceston Daily Telegraph on the 13th February 1918, from Terry to his mother Annie.
A Letter From the Front:
Mrs. Annie Campbell, of Martial Hill, Parkham, has received the following letter from her son, Gunner Terry Campbell, who is serving with the A.I.F. in France:
"I am still somewhere in France, going strong, and doing as well as can be expected in this section of the globe. I am lying on my bed as I write, and it is raining, in fact, pouring, as per usual. Of course the bed I am on is not a feather one. Personally I would rather lie on bottles, if necessary, than let them (the Huns) beat us; but they can never do that. I thought at one time that I would be home for Christmas, but I have hopes of being home ere the next arrives. I received a parcel the other day from Miss Jean Ralston, Dunorlan, sent by the Elizabeth Town Knitting Class. I appreciate their kindness very much."
