Digger’s Appreciation
Mr. W. Taft, of Seaspray, recently received a letter from Private Charlie Booth, who prior to his enlistment with the A.I.F. worked for Mr. Taft. The letter contained the following appreciation of the splendid work being done by the A.C.F. with out troops abroad.
“I would be glad if you would show this snap to anyone you hear running down the A.C.F. as they are doing a great job out here. As well as the frequent issues of tobacco, cigarettes, soap etc. every man in the A.I.F. abroad received one of the boxes you see in the snap containing a Christmas pudding, cake, tin of fruit, tin of cream, tobacco, papers, Minties, tooth paste, handkerchief, etc. A pretty good effort.”
The snap referred to shows an officer and a sergeant distributing the A.C.F. Christmas boxes to a line of happy Diggers with Charlie well
