[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 382810, member: 29"]Gap filling: [I]I enclose cheque for 30/-- subscription for Maga, commencing August 1924[?] and trust you can forward the magazine to the other address until I can [give ] [you ] a permanent one. I have read many appreciations of Maga, as reproduced [active ] [ ] [ ] and have often intended to add mine, for what it is worth. I have been taking the Maga for [ten ] years (thanks to WH Smith Sons, etc – at home, having just left England) and [during ] [the ] [ war] to [secure my copies ] intact, I took it in duplicate. I was serving in Palestine, Syria, and, in spite of the trials of heat (particularly in the desert) and [long ] [lmarches ], there were always a large number of men of all tastes in my company who would volunteer to jettison [food or ] clothing to carry a copy of Blackwood’s Magazine, which circulated thus for many a month. In fact, I have known men, arriving in hospital from the line, found to have [ ] in their kit a copy months old, which had been through many hands after leaving mine, and when myself was wounded, the copy I [ missed receiving ] were taken [care ] [of for ] [me ] , because it is known how highly valued they were.
