Write to a Canadian Soldier in Afghanistan

The Olive Tree Genealogy has a webpage hosted here where anyone who wishes to can write a note to our soldiers in the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry) in Afghanistan. Take a minute to say hello, send a thumb's up, or just tell them how proud we are of their efforts. Let them know we haven't forgotten them!

Dear Wifie

Just a line to let you know that I am in the best of health at present hoping this will find you all the same at home. We are having a fairly good time here just now holding New Year I was at 2 dinners last night and going to 3 more today I dont know how I am going to manage but will have to make it somehow or burst in the attempt. I hope you all had a very happy Xmas and New Year thank goodness I will be home for the next one 5 away now it seems so funny thinking about it I believe we get 6 months pay and allowances when we get our discharge I am scared thinking about getting into civies again. I may have something interesting to tell you in a few days but I dont want to speak to soon there is many a slip between the cup and the lip but I expect the M.C. to come through I know that I am in for it I will have quite a breast before I am finished I am glad that I came back I got the M.M. for the day I got wounded in Cambrai for the work I did there also got recommended for the M.C. as well I will now close hoping to hear from you soon and hope to be back again before long to the wifie and bairns no more wars for me

Your Loving Hubbie

Jim
