I'M serving with the British forces in Macedonia and I would like to thank my parents in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph for sending me copies of it as well as letters and parcels.

I hope to see them soon, but, as we are in the middle of nowhere, I would also be grateful if female readers would write to the soldiers out here as it's good to get letters.

Send them to me and I'll pass them on to the lads I'm with.
