Dear Father, Priv E. Bridgement
Just a line to let 602 Pioneers 30th Batt.
you know that I am in 8th Brigade AIF Egypt
the best of health & 9 Jan 1916
I hope it leaves yourself & all at home the same.
We are having very dirty weather over here
at present,. The sand would cut your eyes out.
I wrote you a letter & Postcard last mail, so I
have know[no] news to tell this time. I believe
they have Conscription in England if it his[is]
true it may make the single men in
Australia enlist better. Soldiering his[is] a
very healthy life. I suppose Cyril Harper's
wife soon be with us. Casey Mitchell
wishes to be remembered to you and shall
have the Mascot. Well Dad I will write a
letter next mail. So I will close with the
very best of love, from your ever loving son Ted.
