France.
April. 20th. 1917
Dear George:
How is everything going? I suppose you are busy going to school. You people will be sur-
prised to hear of the 73rd. being broken up, just for what reason I don't know but I think is on account of Nova Scotia not being represented in any division, as a Batt. [abbreviation: Battalion] + of course they have sent a great many men. I guess Sir R. L. Borden had quite a bit to do in this.
The Batt. [abbreviation: Battalion] was given the choice of going either one of the sister battalions 42nd. or 13th. who are both highland battalions from Montreal, am now in the 13th. [Redacted] Brigade [Redacted] Div. [Abbreviation: Division] The wasn't many of the 73rd. to be broken up as we hadn't been many reinforcements lately.Transcriber
