Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document STALAG IIIA (OFFLAG). GERMANY. Victory in Europe Day. May 8th 1945. My dear Mum, Dad and Joy. I am writing this to you on V.E. day, but it will not be posted until I arrive in England. I don’t know when we will be repatriated, everything is in a most unholy muddle at the moment, and we have had four false alarms already, however the “Brass Hats” of America & Russia have been in conference for some time now, and there is a possibility that we may start to-morrow, or even to-day. All we can do is be patient & wait and see. I have made so many plans for the future, that you must not be surprised if I seem a little nervy & unsettled for the first day or two after I am back it will soon wear off & I’ll be back to my usual - “near normal” quite soon. I will have many things to talk about, but let them come out in my own time as much as possible please. Jimmy Partridge won’t be coming straight home with me, but after a couple of weeks or so I would like to have [undecipherable] down for a few days he is chummy company and I am sure you will like him. Here in Germany it seems impossible to realize that today is Victory Day, and that there is now a chance of a better? Everyone for the future, this was must not have been in vain. This note may seem very scrappy & [deleted] (non nonsensical/ [/deleted] [inserted] nonsensical [/inserted], but it is random thoughts that have entered my head just now, the main purpose of this letter is to let you know that I am in England and will be home soon. All my love to you all, Yours, John. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

DEC 15TH. 1944 [underlined] My dear Mum and Dad, Well Christmas weather is coming Even if the spirit isn’t! We have now had two falls of snow and the temp. is pretty low, however we hope to decorate the mess something after the style of last year. Mail has not been coming through very well, and the latest from Home, is [underlined] Mother’s of Oct 17T/H, [underlined] maybe it will get better just before Christmas, - I got quite a lot last year at that time. As well as studying Spanish I am now taking Calculus classes three times a week, and as Joy will be able to tell you, it is certainly good exercise for the brain. Yesterday I received some cigarettes from June Hill, I don’t know when they were sent, but if you Hear from Lev, would you pass on my thanks. At the Theatre, the “First Mrs Fraser” is now running for six days, until Sunday, this is followed by the Christmas Show “Fanfare” which will most likely start on Xmas eve, and run until New Years Eve. I will write a letter on the 25T/H (twenty fifth) and tell you about the show. The Theatre is now fully booked up with shows until about May, but I don’t think we will be here long enough to see them all, infact [sic] all of us expect to be home by early in the New Year. I wonder if this will be the case? Little more to add, except that I am still pretty fit, but I don’t play games while we are on half Red + parcels. I hope you can send cigarettes again soon, - I am pretty short. Love to you all, John.

Dear Everybody, I received to-day your letters of the 12th & 17th of October, and I am very glad to know that you have heard from me again. In case some of my letters have gone astray, I will repeat that we can buy nothing from the canteen, but when there is anything in the canteen it is issued to us. I am looking forward to receiving the clothes & cigarette parcels as I am rather short of both,- Did you include sweaters? If not could you manage it in the next parcel please. For next summer a pair of shorts and my swimming trunks would be useful, also a pair of shoes. In my last letter I acknowledged receipt of the snapshots,- they were really wizard. I am still studying fairly hard, but the cold weather makes concentration rather difficult. I have received a letter from Mr Elliot & I will be writing to him during the month. Clive must be a wizard chap now, I am looking forward to seeing him again as soon as possible. Here are some more Christmas greetings in case the others do not reach you, the Red X are giving a special parcel of food for the 25th so we should be O.K. Tell ‘Polly’ H. I will be writing & I have her letter. Must stop, Love & Best Wishes to all. John.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document NOV 7TH 1944 My dear Mum and Dad – Great news! At the end of last month I received my “June” parcel, the contents were wonderful and I have written to Mr Gibbs and the C-of-Police. The sleeping bag is now fully operational and in constant use. As a suggestion for future parcels, could you please concentrate on pyjamas, slippers, light underwear, shirts and maybe my dressing gown. I didn’t tell you at the time, but last June I took the R. S. H. elementary and inter. Spanish exams, yesterday I got the results, a Pass with credit for the first, and a second class Hons for the inter. I am now studying for the advanced, & have also received notice of the dispatch of the Oxford exams, - so they should be here quite soon now. Jimmy and I are still working hard as theater electricians - he is also one of my closest friends, - maybe in one of your next letters you would like to “provisionally” invite him down for a visit sometime after we get back. The other day somebody thought my photograph of Mother by the drawing room window was one of my wife! – Quite a compliment but a very easy mistake to make. Space is limited, but I must thank you again for the parcel. I am writing to Aunty[indecipherable word] this month, must stop, all my love, John M.

What a lovely birthday present. I am writing to the people Dad mentions in his letter. – the sleeping bag is just the thing for this weather. Those are my first pair of pyjamas, so could I have another, also slippers, dressing gown and u/wear. I have written my letters to you already, for this month, so more about my parcel next week. I am still well and fit and hoping I will see you all at 00 in the New Year. All my love to you, John. M.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document [underlined] October 19 1944 [/underlined] My dear Mum and Dad, This letter is mainly in reply to Dad’s of Sept eleventh and Aug twenty eight[sic] No more parcels have turned up yet, nor have I received my Spanish exam. With regard to my post war work, I have quite a few ideas in mind, some involving travel, - but those can be discussed when I get home. If possible, I would certainly jump at taking my Bsc. But I am afraid the stipulation about teaching afterwards would dampen my ardour considerably! If however I could take it while with the firm, at the Birbeck, I think I would jump at the chance. The other day I received the American edition of KODAK’S “How to take good pictures” it is very interesting and I now definitely have my eye on their new 35mm Ektra – If you can get hold of one, I have a definite customer lined up – this is the gem. So it will be an investment if you can do it. We are still on half rations, but managing to jog along OK. As well as Spanish, I am keeping up and increasing my knowledge [sic]cine’ and still photography. I have ordered some books through the YMCA, but I dont[sic] know when they will arrive. Your bridge sounds good fun, but I think mine is more scientific. Re.Exeter or London [indecipherable word] agree with Gibbs, but so much depends on how are demobilised after all this We are doing “MAJOR BARBARA” as a radio play tomorrow, it will be quite a success – I hope. Must stop. Love to all John Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document My dear Mum & Dad, I have received quite a pile of letters this week, & am now up to date, to the end of August. Regarding myself, - I don’t think I have changed very much, except, perhaps a little older and a little thinner – however I doubt very much if you will notice it when I come home. - By the way, my exam has not turned up yet, - if the war finishes before I get it, may I sit, when I get home? Very glad to hear about Mr & Mrs Rose, - The Hot Toddy is ideal for colds and I only wish I could get some here! – Just in case I catch cold. I have had two letters from Joy, and I am very glad to hear that she and Clive had a good time during the Summer, - with swimming and tennis. – re my raquet [sic] – I last saw it in the mess before I came here. As I believe I said in an earlier letter, I would very much like to go “HOME” to Minehead after the war, but this must not influence you, regarding any advantageus [sic] move that you may have in mind. I am very gratified to notice the old Bank balance creeping up, - please continue to let me know the state of affairs. We are having fine chilly weather at the moment & I am still quite fit. of my P.O.W money I have refunded about forty pounds to date, - but I don’t know how long it takes to come through. Glad to hear about Peter Bennett, how is Mike Floyd doing – still ok. I hope. How did you enjoy “Monksilver”. Must stop now, love to all. John. M.

I have been receiving your Rothman’s parcels, but they are taking quite a long time. I HAVE received your December parcel, also the uniform one, but no others. Very glad to hear about the bank balance and all the other news – very sorry to hear about Jimmy Webber – remember me to the chaps who can remember me! also 5AK. So glad to hear that “Robbie” has been getting some cigarettes from you – Jack Bell, who is in my hut, was very pleased to hear about Madeleine & is looking forward to the photograph. I have just had a note telling me that Joad and Jean’s books are on the way. Last week in the Theater we had “French without Tears” it was very good, - this week there is a Band Show and we have complete programme up to Christmas – Here’s hoping we won’t have to use it. My Spanish exam has not turned up yet – but maybe I’ll be able to take it in England. The weather hasn’t been soon good lately but I guess I can’t grumble. The photographs were wizard & those of Joy and Clive in the garden were really delightful, - she doesn’t look a day over eighteen. The question re. my first days in England is a delicate one! However more hereafter. Must stop, Tons of Love to all, John. M. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document September 12th 1944 My dear Mum, this may not reach you in time for your birthday, but in any case, heres wishing you many happy returns. Judging by the news of the last few weeks, it doesnt look as if it will be long before we are all together again. Last Friday I received my first letter for five weeks, it was Dad’s letter of June 6th with the eight prints. No parcels have arrived since my Dec. one which came at the end of March. The D and P apparatus has a tender spot in my heart, but I realize it was for the best to get rid of it. [one sentence censored] My Spanish and Theater work are going along very well – almost side by side! This week there is a Band Show, and Jimmy and I have our working cut out ringing all the lighting changes. The other day we got some YMCA lighting equipment from Sweden which has greatly improved our [underlined] “set-up”[/underlined]. I was very sorry to hear about Ivan, but [underlined] I [/underlined] guess there is still hope yet. The weather lately has been very [underlined] fine [/underlined], but it is beginning to get a bit chilly of a morning [underlined] now [/underlined], so I guess my great coat will be in evidence soon. [underlined] The photo- [/underlined] -graph of Joy, which I just received, is one of the best [underlined] that [/underlined] has been taken of the garden and house look top-notch. [underlined] I [/underlined] have never heard of the two Kodak boys you mentioned, so they [underlined] must [/underlined] have been after me. Must stop now, dear, Love to all John. M.
