Title Letter dated 6/11/1919 sheet 2
Description Their guns are better than ours, & they put shells all over the place from 4 or 5 miles away. If it had not been for the Navy with 2 or 3 big guns, which they just got up in time before the line was cut, I don’t know what would have happened to us. We were to have been bombarded yesterday & today but they have been very quiet, we don’t know why. I heard this morning, I don’t know if it is true or not, that we have now got a strong force at Estcourt about 40 miles away down the line. I hope it is true & that part of the Army Corps is likely to arrive in Durban the end of this week. I am quite separate from the Regiment at present with my M. I. [??] & 2 very good Subalterns & we are fairly comfortable.
