18 LOYOLA COLLEGE REVIEW Somebody sent me out a copy of it. Unfortunately, I do not know who it was, because it was sent to my mother, and she sent it on to me in France, so I could not tell by the writing. I was really delighted to get it. The pictures were awfully good, and I think it is one of the best things Loyola has published. I used to wonder sometimes why the College didn't try to keep in touch with its Old Boys, but that book was a joy to me for days while I read every word of it. I would write to the editors myself, only I don't know who they are, and there are very few popie I know left at the College. Thats why I am asking you to congratulate them kindly or me. I must apologise for the paper and the writing, but the ship is rolling all over the place, and it's the only paper I can get. Just now, after four and a half months in France, I am on my way to the Balkans, where we ought to get some rather different fighting. Trench warfare is exciting enough, too much so at times, but this will, I hope, be more open and produce more obvious results. According to our wireless, we are badly needed in Serbia, where the Germans and Bulgars seem to have completely wiped out the Serbian army. However, I hope we E be able to get our own back somewhat, if only we can land without running into a tor о. I’m afraid I must stop now and rush down to stables. They keep us pretty busy оп board and I have a lot of letters to write. We will leave a bag of mail at Malta as we pass to- night, and it will be my last chance to write Christmas letters home. I hope, some day, if I can fool the Bulgars as successfully as I have the Boches, to be able to get back to Loyola and see the old crowd again. Meanwhile, I must wish you, the Faculty and the pupils the very merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years. LETTER FROM FREDERICK. C. DE ZOUCHE: Shorncliffe, Kent. March 23rd, 1916. Very many thanks for sending me “ The Gazette” serving with the Forces. I have met a few of them: McGovern I met in France pretty close to the firing line; Fletcher, I met here in England last summer and in France also; Ernest Grimes and I enlisted the same day in Ottawa, on December 9th, 1914. Grimes joined the Horse Transport and | joined the Mechanical Transport. I met him again over here and in France. I have heard of several other Loyola Boys, but have not been able to trace them. hen I first joined, I enlisted as a motor truck driver and served in that capacity until December last, 1915, when I got hurt and was forced to return to England from the front. However, Ї am fairly fit again and expect to return to France shortly as a despatch rider. Since I carne out of hospital, I have been despatch-riding for Headquarters, but I am still attached to the C. A.S.C. base operating depot, Shorncliff. It might interest you to know that another Loyola Boy, a nephew of mine, J. А. Mac- Casham, is in the United States Navy, and has been for the last two and a half years. Another Loyola Boy, but one who attended the College only for a couple of months, is here at the present time, А. А. Lessard, 1зї Div. Supply Column. Не also was wounded in France. Just now he is driving an ambulance. My original unit was the 2nd Div. Supply Column. І have been away from Canada for nearly a year now. IIl be awfully glad to get back to the old home. I would like to tell you of my experiences while in France, but I don't want to bore you, and I know you must be very busy. I heard some time ago that your new buildings in Montreal West were nearly completed. I am very glad to hear it, as the old place on Drum- mond must have become very cramped. LETTER FROM MAJOR BOYCE: March 7th, 1916. with the list of the Loyola Boys Your thoughtfulness in sending me a Christmas box was very much appreciated indeed. Many thanks from an old friend of years' standing. How is life with you? You are at the dear old College. God bless Loyola! May it constantly prosper and blossom out into one of the greatest Canadian Colleges! Already, in quality, Loyola leaves nothing to be desired. Let us hope that, with greater facilities, material welfare may be likewise. The old College was not very large in my day, but some of the boys are doing well out here. I have come across only а few, but there are others. Among those whom І met are my good friends, Lieut. Frank Maguire, 2nd Battalion, now on sick leave in England from injury received in the trenches; Lieut. Joe Power, 2nd Battalion, now in Canada sick; Lieut. ' Chubby Power, 2rd Battalion, now in England badly wounded; Lieuts. Pierre and Philippe Chevalier, 14th and 22nd Battalions, one of whom is severely wounded and now in England; Lieut. Cla- rence Doheny of the Artillery; Sergeant Adrian Fletcher, whose application for a commission I recently signed; and Lieut. Arthur McGovern, of the 28th Battalion. I know Lieut. George Vanier is here, but have not yet seen him. Likewise they say Leo Lynch is here and others whom we are bound to run across in the course of our work. It may interest you to know that I am the only Catholic Medical Officer in my ambulance, and am also the second in command. The O.C. is a Montrealer, who practised in Quebec. However, everything goes along splendidly; out here, as a rule, we appreciate our neighbours on their true merits.
