Description
''Hal'' (Major Henry Fawcett) writes to ''dear Uncle'' that his squadron was evacuated from their location. It required considerable flying to insure staying clear of enemy planes. Three of his men were wounded. Continuation of this letter continues December 23, 1915. Fawcett writes that he began a bombing raid at a Turkish position, but the engine of his plane failed and he was forced to land in foot-deep water. The plane turned over and was demolished. The eight bombs he had in the plane were not ignited. He has been hunting ducks, but has to be careful not to use too many cartridges.
