:{{quote-left}}Dear Mr. Star Man, A few lines of thinks for the splendid parcel of tobacco received through your splendid Smoke Fund from Jack Bell’s customers. I can assure you it was very welcome to me and the boys, as we werein the trenches at the time of it’s arrival.

With a [[whizz-bang]], and two other chaps were wounded at the same time, also an officer. Young Ike was liked by everyone, from [[Captain]] to [[Private]], in our Company, as he had a smile for everyone and was always obliging.<br>
