Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document MR. & MRS. H.A. WITTY, 63 FARNDALE AVENUE, SOUTHCOATES LANE, HULL, YORKS., ENGLAND. 863473 Sender’s Address: 1520694 L.A.C. WITTY A.R., 48 AIR SCHOOL, WOODBROOK, EAST LONDON, SOUTH AFRICA. Date: 10/1/43 AIRGRAPH NO. 2. (Continued from AIRGRAPH NO. 1) Dear Mum, Dad, Hazel and Norman, As far as I can remember it’s 13 weeks now since I was home on leave, though it doesn’t seem that long. I wonder what kind of weather you’re having at the present moment. The weather here is at its warmest, and the more recent arrivals from Britain (myself included) can quite easily be distinguished by a peeling of the skin on the nose to a greater or lesser extent. The skin there is delicate and flakes on long exposure. Some chaps who did too much sun-bathing soon after our arrival had most of the skin of their backs peeling. Imagine that while the snow and slush lies around you. I’d forgotten about that bomb. I suspect that the soldiers on the job realize that they’re on a good thing. They would probably have more strenuous work to do if they finished that job whereas at present there’s no N.C.O. to rush them. They probably re-bury the bomb as soon as they find it. I spend most of my time off in town – often at a cinema or club. I’m also greatly improving my table-tennis I think. I’m also going to play billiards and football at the first opportunity. On the whole we’re having a very good time and are by no means overworked. I hope you’re all keeping as well as I am. God bless you all.
