Letters From the Boys Overseas The folllowing interesting letter has been received, from J. Anning: Dear Friends in Thornhill: is what happened. On the same mail came an equally costly box of chocoâ€" lates from Alberta for a lad‘ who wanted vaeet Caps. Immediately East met West and- presto! Yours truly was gorging delicious choco- lates and the keen blue eyes of the Westerner were smiling contentedlzy through the rich smoke of your Sweet Caps, both of us very thank- fulI that we hail from Canada, where beat good: loyal heartsâ€"hearts that prove ever and annonâ€"they rememâ€" ber. Thank you all very much for your kindness in sending me the parcel and) cigarettes. The funniest thing about it is I don’t smoke but this Well, I was in London not long ago. The people are wonderfulâ€"so is the dear old city. There are smould- ering ruins it is true, crumlbled? walls and; fires, yet back of it all is some- thing that strikes one more than all the treasures that are ravished‘. It is the immortal spirit of London ru-gigedllvy framed in blasted walls, shining through the smoke and rise ing higher than the fires, burnt yet not consumed, Iblasted yet unbroken, smoked) yet not suffocated, tribulat- ed yet triumphant; stands the “Heart of the Empire”, defiant in the face of Total War beside which the sack of Warsaw pales in its insignifi- cance. The old Cockney is! proving) every day that if all other things are bombed and broken one thing remains stalwart and unbent, it is the every dlay Londoner â€" sorely tried and bleeding, yet carrying his or her cross proudly erect with mag- nity that almost match-es Calvary it- sellf. As to us ourselrvesâ€"our food and bilflets are fine, in; fact I am putting on weight. I have just received a parcel from my dear wife and child’- ren, with a precious package of figs, on which a nice little girl with sweet blue eyes has scraleed' “To Daddy from Lorna”. That is one of my “Gold Star’,’ Christmas boxes. Ere closing may I thank you again for your kindness and give my kind regards to all I know and don’t for- get, WE ARE GOING TO WIN.
