Describes conditions in a billet behind the lines, notably the cold. Talks about being involved in a tear-gas attack. Lists a series of wants. Describes no man's land in detail, and ridicules pictures in the paper that pretend to convey conditions at the front. This is letter no. 481 in Ed. 'Wilfred Owen Collected Letters'.
