'As you say, Mother, the war does not look like ending for a long time yet. You never want to read the Daily Mail. It is almost a pro German paper. There are things in it today which are misleading. It says the Germans are brave and worthy fighters and that our men say so. Most of the men who I have spoken to, and they are a good many, say the opposite. It would be foolish to say none of them are brave. The paper is always down on the Government. All Governments make mistakes.'
