Letter from Wm Coutts to Father which mentions that he is guarding some tins of petrol from Bulgars with some other men- one of whom is amusing himself by taking pot-shots at stray dogs. More rumours of impending demobilization. "Time-expired" men who enlisted before 1916, men with 3 "wounded" stripes, men whose employers have applied for them and men who have very compassionate grounds for leaving are next to go. Food quality is down- the weather has made it tricky for supplies to get through.
