Xmas 1941

Wishing you all a very merry xmas and may all your boys be back home with you early in the new year and all the Huns up here knocked out! It won’t be long now.

I had a long chat with Boytjie a while ago- I’ve never seen him look fitter than he is at present.

About a week ago I played in a Rugby match against the Arti and nobody else but Fanie played opposite- me at center- Glo vir my hy kan hard tackle, ek is somar nou nog styf! He is a picture of health and gloriously sunburnt.

Both Boy and Fanie are okay- you need not worry about them.

My kindest regards to you all

Totsiens
