The arrival of the annual Christmas cheer from our loyal association and Women's Auxiliary, although somewhat belated, was the occasion of great enthusiasm among the battalion. Major Clark thought it would be a good idea if I took time out and visited all hospitals and convalescent camps and our oase lor reinforcements. I do not like to leave the for ward areas" I replied, "for one never knows how much I may be needed here." "Well we are going to do a little paUrotltng for the next week or so, padre, and it will be our only chance of getting some of these good things from Van couver to our lads scattered about Italy." We approached Colonel Creighton on the matter. "I think It U a brilliant Idea" h said, "gejt off as soon as you can First of all I got the boys of the pipe band to assist me in parcelling and tying. I had made a careful allotment of every item sent from Vancouver so that each man should get bis fair share. Four were employed to do the assembling. Six did the wrapping up and two did the tying. We were able to tie up 225 parcels in this manner in three hours. On March 15 I loaded up my truck taking with me my tent and ten days rations for driver batman and myself and with loads of cigarettes in addition we started off. It was raining, hailing and bitterly cold. The roads .were awful. Our first call was at the Fourth Casualty Clearing Station. We had no Seaforths here but remained for lunch as It was 12 pjn. At 1 :30 we conUnued south along the Adriatic coast and I visited some British hospitals but still found no FRANCISCAN MOXASTLRY At Setta Caprlola we set up our tent for the night outside a Franciscan monastery. We bought eggs, a rare treat, and settled down to eat and sleep. It was very cold and the rain had ceased and it was fine overhead. Friday. March 17. the monks visited me and made me promise to stay with them If I returned this way as they Insisted there was lots of room for visi tors and especially for brother clergy. They pressed me to look over the premises. I noted that our own soldiers had been billeted there In the vacant cells. Such reminders as "Keep Out I'm Busy" and "9th Platoon Go Away" were chalked up on many of the walls. The monastery was 111 kept as only six brothers remained to care for the building which normally would house fifty. Rheumatism worried them not surprising as they had no heat and cold stone floors, and none of them seemed under sixty years of age. We moved on to Foggla. Censorship forbids me to tell you of the sights I saw on the Foggla plains. Still none of our lads were there so I went on ever more to the south. We had lunch on the side of the road, using the welcome warmth of a road gang's hut A British Tommy was in charge of the Italian workers and he made us tea and we heated up our stew. There is a grand spirit of team work among the defenders of our; cause and Empire and not the least indication of this comradeship Is found in such com plete forms of whole hearted i hospitality along the roads ot j Italy.

We used an old railway siding and found it very quiet and free from the everlasUn? Italian beggars and snoopers. By the light of my storm Jantern I wrote a few lines In connection with my boys and their people at home and retired thereafter from public life until 5:30 ajn. next morning. I decided to visit Andrea which was six miles from Bar-letta because we had many of our sick there. I decided to visit Barletta the next day. At Andrea my work began. You would have been as delighted as I was had you been able to accompany me through those forty or fifty wards. The boys were longing to hear of our doings "up front" and they had lots of questions to ask. Our Canadian doctors are second to none and our nursing sisters are simply wonderful No work Is too hard, no hours too long, and no request is too trifling for them to undertake, with enthusiasm for those boys ot Sunday March 19 I was asked to assist in services during the morning and in the afternoon I visited two hospitals in Barletta. Here again I was received with a great welcome. The boys who had been away from the Regiment for a long time were first surprised and then delighted to see their padre. It did my heart good to be able to give so much of comfort and cheer to them all. They were most Impressed by the efforts of our Women's Auxiliary. The parcels, the socks and the cigarettes were received with a boyish eagerness which was most infectious I assure you. In the evening I spoke at the hospital YJW.OA. Club for nearly an hour. Monday, March 20, I completed my work in all the wards and pushed on to Tranl, about six miles further south where we have a convalescent centre. The boys have a grand time here.
