Dear Folks

still keeping OK been very busy lately I have’nt been out of the camp yet. I havent had the chance.

The canadians here are a nice set of boys plenty of fun, a bit rough but nevertheless good eggs.

I have been to two film shows whilst here, because we have a camp cinema, which as you can imagine is well appreciated by all.

Gordon and Stan have gone to a dance. But Jim and myself [missing word]
