Letter from Harry Garnham to Mrs. M Pinner

Letter from Harry Garnham to Mrs. M Pinner

Letter from Garnham to his brother and sister. Garnham apologises for not replying sooner, saying he is either sleeping or being dragged out to town by the rest of the crew. He says he is looking forward to giving "Gerry a hit or two" and finds operations thrilling until the shooting gets too close for comfort. He recounts how they were told that they would soil themselves on their first trip but he is glad to say, that did not happen. He tells of landing at Martlesham and says is sorry that he could not get home to see the family and envied the others stationed there who were living around Ipswich and so close to home. He also apologises for not having much news to tell and ends the letter with "tons of love" and a lot of kisses.
