Notes |
Describes reading Vera Brittain's letters by candlelight and responding to them / the state of the trenches and dugouts / location of the platoon / a bullet passing Roland Leighton's head as he shaved / potential for remaining in the sector / forgetting about danger and the potential for death / graves in the wood / wonders how much he should share with Vera / mending barbed wire on detail / idealism and the war / anticipates a future together with Vera.
