I have received this “Good-bye” letter from Pte. Dave McDonald, 7th C.E. Battalion, sent from Bramshott Camp. He says: ―
Dear Mr. Wreford and Brother,
“Received part of your letter which Mr. Matthews, who has helped me greatly, has sent me. Praise the Lord for the help I have received in the Mother Country. I have never been sorry I enlisted, and I am going back with a Friend I did not have coming over. One thing I can say, that the servants of God in the S.C.A. preach Jesus and Him crucified, and that is where we must start, for if the Cross is not preached how are men to see?
“We are just ready to go to Canada, and although there is much confusion in the camp we have a room here in the S.C.A. which is very dear to us all, and what fellowship we do have around God’s Word!
“I was able to have half a dozen photos taken, and I am sending you one. Pray for me that I may be ever in His will and doing it from the heart willingly.
“Now I will close, thanking you for your help and the parcels you sent me while across the Channel.
“Yours in Jesus, “Dave Mcdonald”
