1916 June 26 - On Train
Going to share a room with "Miss Brander". Went to Bath with her last
week, took in vaudeville show. "The brother is very nice and has a
beautiful back. I told Miss Brander he had much too straight a back
for an officer and looked more like a smart sergeant."
[He had been; had to work his way up after joining as a teen. NB to readers,
we learned *nothing* about our grandfather's family, I had no idea he
had a sister also in Canada, still have no idea what her name was.
The "beautiful back" comment, in an Edwardian letter home to parents,
is bold indeed; I see why she married him.]
