170817 Lt. J.M. Luce c/o Grindlay's Bank, Bombay. - Is no longer a Captain in the Gunners, but a subaltern on the lowest range of the infantry ladder with the Chindits. The novelty of the new training has worn off, and jungle work is 'a matter of endurance'. Doubts whether he will make a good infantry officer. Hardships of poorly-made boots and heavy loads. Was formerly stationed at Poona, a disappointing place, but he was sorry to leave his regiment. Hopes he will still get his planned leave in Kashmir to go for a long trek: would like to get in to Tibet, but they will probably have to be contented with the western end of the Himalayas. Sends love to Bessie and regards to Miss Simpkins.
