All through this dark winter month,the enemy have had the power to drop 3 or 4 times of bombs upon us,for each time we could send to Germany in return.We are arranging so that presently this could be rather the other way around.But meanwhile landing on our big cities had to stand their ponder.It reminds me of the British square of Waterloo .They are not squares of soldiers. They do not wear scarlet¹ coats.They are just only English,British and Welsh folk.Man,women and children standing² steadfast³ together,but their experience is the same,their glory is the same.And in the end their victory would be greater than far fame Waterloo
