Letter from Kenneth Smith to his family

Letter from Kenneth Smith to his family

Comments journey to RAF Locking and his new accommodation in wooden hut with 75 other men. Writes that he had brought everything apart from his identity discs and asks if they can look for them. Describes the disc to help them look. Also says he would like a padlock. Comments that half the men in his hut were Free French. Mentions they were issued with overalls to work on engines. Also that he knew only a few people there and many seemed to have failed the previous course. He regretted not taking their advice to take food for the journey as there were few stops.
