LETTERS HOME #814153 Pte. Donald Ross 187th Batt C.E.F. 1898 ~ 1918 Copyright Stephen Workman Somewhere in France, Jan 1 1917 Dear Mother, My cold has left me quite deaf. This morning a couple of shells landed within 10 yards of me but I did not hear them. But the dead certainly make me creepy. I never was quite so bad. The mud is terrible, over your boots, everywhere. You would not know me now if you saw me. I am covered head to foot and cannot get it off me. Katie said in her letter that they are going to send me a parcel. Would it be too much trouble to ask you to send one every week? I am your loving lonely son Pte. Donald Ross.
