Hello Vic,
Thanks a lot for the letter & the wee message from Barbara; yes I know I'm lucky her to come back to. Believe me Vic, I feel like a millionaire & wanting for nothing just so long as Barbara is mine. It's really a good feeling isn't it? Yes, yes the old knee is coping O.K. but I can't run & that's binding especially when there is Soccer & Rugger played here. How are you Pam? I feel I know you already, just buck your husband up & send a photograph. Will you do that for me? Maybe he's just forgotten, because he's really a good guy underneath.
Ah well, cherio [sic] you two lucky b .....s
Yours Ted.

Dear Pat,
So sorry I have only written until now, but I thought it would be better. I expect you understand. You know probably now the events of our famous night. I was very lucky, thank god. My burns, which seemed at first bad, are now completely gone, and I feel fairly fit & well. Drake is here in my room. You remember him also many others who remember you. I have given them all your thoughts etc. So glad you hear your car’s O.K. My people have told me, they are writing to you & that father saw you etc. My car is also waiting for “the” day. We are definitely going to see each other when “this” is all over, and oh boy! What a time. Know nothing about Mercer. So sorry old man. Please remember me to Joyce etc. Dunbling sends his best wishes. He’s O.K; and “stocks” & “baldy” are too. Keep well old man, I’m with you in thought. Keep cracking, and get me home quickly. I will write as often as I can. I am always, your best friend, etc.
Robert Hanslip SGT.
P.S. I’m learning German very well.

[inserted] FROM 19-2-1945 John was POW no. 7645 at Stalag Luft 1.
NOTES ON P.O.W. CAMP LIFE – JOHN GOLDBY
I have not recorded anything much for the months of February, March and April (1945) until the 30th of that month.
Conditions in the camp were pretty depressing, mainly because of the lack of food. There were no Red Cross parcels and for weeks on end our diet consisted of 6-8 wafer-thin slices of black bread a day, one bowl of vegetable soup and some coffee without milk or sugar. Calorific value was said to be 800 a day. The effort of climbing up to or down from the top bunks left you feeling faint.
The slices of bread were cut from part of a loaf, and we all crowded round to ensure that the slices were of a consistent thickness. Roll-call was twice a day out on parade in the compound, and frequently the guards (or goons as we called them and they often called themselves) had difficulty reconciling the numbers. It was very cold, and although we exercised by walking in the compound, we spent a lot of time trying to keep warm in our huts, passing the time reading.
Whilst on parade for roll-call we did P.T. awaiting our turn to be counted. On exercise consisted of touching our toes, then flinging our arms up high above our heads with the shout 'Come on Joe!' – 'Joe' being the Russians, personified by Uncle 'Joe' Stalin.
On 3rd. February 1945, the family received a telegram from the Air Ministry which read "3/2/45 information received through the International Red Cross Committee states that your son F/Lt. John Louis Goldby is a prisoner of war wounded in German hands". On the back of the telegram my father has written the names of friends whom he wanted to tell of my whereabouts. At the time the telegraph was received my mother was attending a concert in my old school.
On 19th February I wrote a card home which bears traces of blood. This card arrived in the UK in April 1945. John's sister was reading it standing at her kitchen window when one of the last V2 rockets fell and she was cut by flying glass. It is her blood which has stained the card.
Kriegsgefangener cards 2 & 3 arrived in UK late April 1945. Whilst he was in Germany John received no news from home, none of their letter [sic] got through.

JOHN LOUIS GOLDBY SERVICE NO. 1387511 and 139407 Version dated 21 July 2020
[inserted] Corrected August 2020 [/inserted]
John joined up on 31 May 1941 at Babbacombe in Devon. He completed ground training at the Initial Training Wing at RAF Kenley. He then went to Air Observer School at Jurby in the Isle of Man from October 1941 – May 1942. For some of his fellow volunteers it was the first time they had been in an aircraft. He completed navigation and gunnery training on Blenheim aircraft and bomb aimer training on Hampdens whilst at Jurby, using air-to-air towed targets. He gained 3 stripes as a Sergeant Observer. He then went to Stanton Harcourt (near Abingdon) to 10 Operational Training Unit in June 1942.
He became part of a crew under pilot Captain Watson RE, seconded onto Whitley aircraft in the role bomb aimer. Captain Watson was a 2nd pilot on the first 1,000 bomber raid on Cologne on 30 May 1942. The second 1,000 bomber raid targeted Essen and John flew on the third 1,000 bomber raid in a Whitley bomber to Bremen on 25 June 1942. This was a 5-hour round trip.
Bomber Command then extended the number of crew needed on 4 engined aircraft from 5 to 7 crew members, adding a bomb aimer and flight engineer.
No. 10 Operational Training Unit Detachment at St Eval was led by Wing Commander Pickard who was portrayed in the film 'F for Freddie' which detailed the raid on Amiens prison, in which Wg. Cmdr. Pickard was killed.
Twin-engined Whitley aircraft of Bomber Command were being used on anti-submarine duties because of the U-boat threat.
The unit was based at St Eval in Cornwall using black-painted Whitleys (Coastal Command aircraft were painted white). Flights involved a 10-hour flight dropping depth charges over the Bay of Biscay. It was a deafening experience as the crew had no hearing protection. The unit completed 6-8 operations.
John then moved in September 1942 to Marston Moor (Yorkshire) and completed a conversion course on to 4 engined aircraft – the Halifax 2. These were notoriously difficult to handle, with original tail fins and Rolls Royce engines.
John took part in a number of mine-laying operations off Heligoland, which counted as a 1/2 operation. These were called 'gardening' trips – planting mines at low level. On 11 December 1943 John was a crew member in a Halifax 2 aircraft of No. 78 Squadron which took off from Linton-on-Ouse with a heavy load of fuel on board, bound for Turin. An engine caught fire on take-off and the aircraft had to ditch in Filey Bay. The crew were rescued by local fishermen. By February 1943 he had completed 8 operations which was very stressful. He received news of his commission and went to London to get his uniform, but he developed a very bad throat infection and ended up in an Army hospital in York with an abscess on the carotid artery, and then had his tonsils removed. He spent his 21st. birthday in June 1943 in hospital at RAF Northallerton.
His commissioned service number was 139407. His mother came up from Sidcup for the commissioning ceremony – a very difficult journey in wartime.
John was posted as a Bombing Instructor to Moreton-in-March (Gloucester) from winter 1943 until late Spring 1944 (???) on Wellington aircraft. He then moved back to Bomber Command Operations and completed a Bombing Leader course at the Armaments School at RAF Manby in January 1944 at the beginning of July 1944 at RAF Riccal (York). He was posted to No. 640 Squadron at RAF Leconfield In Yorkshire on Halifax 3 aircraft as a bomb aimer with the rank of Flight Lieutenant.
In his position as a Bomb Aimer leader, John was supposed to complete only 2 operations per month, but if a crew lacked a bomb aimer then John would go on the operation to complete the crew. For his actions when his aircraft was damaged during a raid over Germany in September 1944 John was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross (although he did not receive the actual decoration until June 1945 (see separate piece).
[page break]
On 6 December 1944 John's aircraft – a Halifax III with radial engines – was hit whilst returning from a bombing raid over Osnabruck in Germany. John thinks his aircraft collided with a German night fighter. He was fortunate to escape from the falling aircraft – he still does not know how he got out of the fuselage), and landed by parachute in a field full of water. He sustained various injuries, and recovered in a hospital run by nuns at Neemkirchen in northern Germany until 20th January 1945. He was then sent to the interrogation centre at Dulagluft at Frankfurt-an-der-Oder near Barth near Stettin in Pomerania. The camp had an airfield alongside it. The camp was divided into 2 parts – an American section for USAF personnel and a British RAF Group Captain commanded the British prisoners. You were placed into the appropriate section according to which air force you had flown with. The camp was liberated by Russian forces on May 1st. 1945. Shortly afterwards members of the American Army appeared and took over the camp.
2 Group Captains from the camp managed to get through to the Allied lines at Lubeck and arranged for the camp prisoners (all RAF men?) to be flown back to the UK on B17 Flying Fortresses, 25 men to each aircraft on 13 May 1945. John's aircraft landed at Ford, and he then caught a train to (RAF) Cosford.
He underwent a rehabilitation course in Air Traffic Control at RAF Henlow.
He was demobbed in late 1946.

John re-joined the RAF in 1949, and completed a 9 month Navigator and Bombing refresher course at No. 1 Air Navigation School at Topcliffe and RAF Middleton-St-George respectively between 1 June and 15 August 1949 on Anson and Wellington aircraft. This was followed by training at No. 201 Advanced Flying School at RAF Swinderby, flying Wellingtons with pilot Wing Commander Oxley, between 29 September and 30 November.
Wing Commander Oxley (known as Beetle), was quite dangerous as he did not like to use his instruments. On one operation John's aircraft was diverted to Anglesey and Beetle overshot the runway.
John then posted to No 236 Operational Conversion Unit at RAF Kinloss in Scotland, flying Lancaster aircraft, until 5 April 1950. It was a very cold experience as they lived in unheated tin (Nissen) huts. John then was posted to 38 Squadron at RAF Luqa, Malta, flying Lancasters on Maritime Reconnaissance Operations, including exercises with various Navies and Air Sea Rescue duties), until 19 July 1952. During this period he was seconded to RAF Masirah located on the island of Masirah in the Indian Ocean as Commanding Officer of the staging post between Aden and India.
There were frequent visitors, to the RAF base, especially the top people from the Defence College. Back in Malta, on 12th May 1952 John flew with 6 Lancaster aircraft from No. 38 Squadron which set of [sic] on a goodwill visit to Ceylon (Sri Lanka.) They flew via Luqa (Malta), Habbaniya (Iraq), Mauripur (India) to Negombo. They returned leaving Negombo on 31st May via Mauripur, Aden and Khartoum (Sudan) reaching Luqa on 4 June 1952.
On leaving Malta in September 1952 John was posted to No. 1 Maritime Reconnaissance School at St Mawgan in Cornwall as a Navigational Instructor, flying Lancasters until the end of September 1954. During this period John had two breaks, one being in the procession at the Queen's Coronation in 1953, and the second at the Queen's Review at RAF Odiham. In October 1954 until September 1956 John was posted to HQ 64 Group Home Command, at Rufforth in Yorkshire, as PA to the Air Officer Commanding (this was a non-flying role, apart from accompanying the Air Commodore on internal visits).
[page break]
From September 1956 until 23 January 1957 John attended Bomber Command Bombing School at RAF Lindholme, Yorkshire, for navigation training for the V-Bomber Force. In summer of that year he was posted instead to the Air Ministry, London Intelligence Branch. During his term at the Air Ministry he had a spell of 2 weeks at St Mawgan, flying as Navigator on Shackleton aircraft with the Air Sea Warfare Development Unit. This was to qualify him to receive flying pay. From October 1960 until May 1962 he served as Assistant Air Attache at the British Embassy in Paris. John was promoted to the rank of Wing Commander and liaised with the French Air Force for participation in air shows.
John retired from the RAF in May 1962, as there was only a 1 in 4 chance that he would be posted to a flying role, and by then he had 2 small children at home.
In September 1962 he joined Shell-Mex and BP Ltd, soon to become separate companies. He stayed with Shell until his retirement in June 1982.

JOHN GOLDBY
THE LAST DAYS IN STALAGLUFT 1 30 APRIL – 13 MAY 1945
Monday 30th April 1945
All to-day the Jerries have been demolishing detector installations and equipment in the Flak School. By this evening most of the items have left the Camp and it looks as though we shall be left here in the care of the S.A.O.
Many heavy explosives in the Flak School and on the aerodrome beyond. There was no count on parade tonight – but the Jerry Major appeared to be tight.
At 9pm the W/O told us that from 8am tomorrow we should no longer be P.O.W.s as the Kommandant was officially handing over. We had an extra biscuit, butter and marmalade to celebrate.
Tuesday 1st May 1945
Today the guard posts are occupied by Americans wearing M.P. armbands, instead of the usual old goons. A white flag flies over the camp. The rumours are flying thick and fast, and everyone is wondering when we shall get away. The Russians are supposed to be pretty close, the latest is that they are 2 kms. south of Barth. The Burgomeister of Barth is said to have shot himself. At 1pm. we heard the BBC news and now at 14.20 hours we are listening to Variety Bandbox.
Tonight at 22.15 approximately a Russian lieutenant and either a civilian or Russian soldier arrived in Camp. Cheers echoed throughout the compound. We have been waiting for this for some time! Good old Joe! The main Russian body captured Stralsund today. Hear the 9 pm. BBC news. Public house times to be extended on VE Day – good show, I hope we’re home for it!
At 22.30 it was announced that Hitler is dead – I hope it was one of Berlin’s sewers. Perhaps the B……ds will capitulate now. Light on until midnight by order of Colonel Zenke. Special cup of hot milk at 23.15 to celebrate Joe’s arrival. More Russians expected tomorrow.
Water shortage.
Wednesday 2nd May 1945
The Russians said we were to march out and we packed in preparation to leave at 6 pm.. One Red Cross parcel issued to each man for the journey. We ate several meals in quick succession to get rid of c…… stocks and shared out as much as we had left. Then we were told to be ready to march in the morning, and a little later we heard that the march was not definite. Most of us left camp in the evening to have a look round – some even got into Barth. Rumours of flying out – ‘Hope it’s true!’. British and Russians are supposed to have linked up in the north. Chaos reigned all day. Poor water situation.
[page break]

Thursday 3rd May 1945
German armies in Italy and Austria surrendered to Alexander. Monty’s boys in Lubeck. Russians in Rostock. Both captured. Berlin fallen. Hamburg declared an open city. Have been told that the airfield is being cleared of mines so that we may be flown out. Hope it’s true and that the kites arrive pretty quickly. Heard earlier today that we were in contact with London, Washington and Moscow to see what they intended us to do.
Ate colossal (comparatively speaking) amounts all day. On K.P. – a hell of a job today. Water situation better. From midnight to-night we use Russian time! An hour in advance of our present time.
Friday 4th May 1945
Airfield expected to be clear by 2.00. All Germans in North-West Germany, Holland, Denmark, Heligoland and …….. were ordered by Admiral Donitz to surrender unconditionally. This is to take effect from 08.00 hours tomorrow, Saturday May 5th. 1945.
Saturday 5th May 1945
A Russian general inspected our barracks in the morning. In the afternoon Marshal Rokotovsky came to report with Colonel Zenke. Very tough-looking bunch. One of the generals made a speech to some of us – in Russian.
An American colonel arrived by jeep from our lines to make final arrangements for our evacuation. Wish they’d get a move on. Listened to radio recording of the signing of the unconditional surrender by the German staff. The commentary was by Monty.
Sunday 6th May 1945
Still waiting. The Colonel reported his former broadcasts saying that things were being done for our evacuation. Johnnie evacuated himself.
Monday 7th May 1945
A Lt. Colonel of the 6th Airborne Division came from Weismar today to reassure us – and we needed reassuring too – that we could expect to be flown out within the next few days. He could not state which day it would be but it would definitely be only a matter of a few days. Question: How long – or short – it is a few days? Apparently we shall be flown direct to England. Good deal! Other P.O.W.s are still being flown back by Lancs. Have just heard that …. are passed ‘thro Reception Centres on 48 hours. Daks and Commandos are being used – 25 in a Dak and 40 in a Commando. Most P.O.W.s have to be helped into an aircraft – they’ll get a shock here. We shall run like stink when the kites come. Heard that tomorrow is VE Day and the following day a holiday. I am bloody annoyed that we are going to miss he [sic] celebrations and so is everyone else.
[page break]

Sunday 6th May 1945 (continued)
Saw a Russian concert this afternoon and it was damn good. No-one – or very few – understood a word, but what the hell !!!
Monday 7th May 1945 (continued)
At the moment 21.50 Russian time a bod (I think it’s Alfredo Campoli) is playing a composition on the violin which I heard at one of the St John’s Socials. It may be called “The Canary” – I’m not sure. The chap who played it at the Social was Mr Butwick I think – will check up in a few days time when I get home.
It has just been announced that the BBC have broadcast a message to the effect that Stalag Luft 1, Barth, Pomerania has been liberated and that next of kin are informed.
Goebbels, his wife and daughters took poison apparently.
War ends after 5 years and 8 months.
Unconditional surrender made at 2.41 am. French time today to FM Montgomery. Location – Rheims.
Tuesday 8th My [sic] 1945
Have just heard the Prime Minister’s speech declaring that the European war is at an end. The cease-fire officially takes place at 00.01 tomorrow Wednesday May 9th, but fighting – except for some resistance in Czechoslovakia – ceased on Thursday morning.
It is VE Day and this morning I spent some time sun-bathing on the peninsula north of the camp. I hope soon to be doing the same thing in England very soon.
Listened to the King’s speech and I guess the family were listening too. Do they know where I am I wonder and did they hear the announcement on the radio at 22.00 last night to the effect that we had been liberated by the Red Army?
Lancs. landed in Germany for the first time and flew back with 4,500 P.O.W.s. Come on boys – let’s get out of here?
Wednesday 9th May 1945
Sun bathing again today.
Allied parade this morning. A Russian officer made a speech to us – same old story. Be patient for a few more days. Plenty of rumours floating around. Was the ……. message re Russian transport to Weismar gen? I doubt it……took out P.O.W.s from the Lubeck area.
At 08:00 hours on BBC radio – ‘All men at Stalag I. Both near Stralsund, Pomerania, Germany are to remain in the camp and not make for the allied lines’.
[page break]
- Page 4 -
Thursday 10th May 1945
On KP again today. 10,000 more P.O.W.s flown out by 500 BC aircraft – and we’re still here. Col. Zenke made an appalling speech again tonight. He is going to get us all souvenirs etc. !! The rumour is that all British personnel are going to be taken by transport ro [sic] Weismar and flown home from there. Also that we should have been there (Weismar) yesterday. C/O Weir is supposed to have gone there today to try and get us out. He may have split with Col. Z. I hope so as Z hasn’t a bloody clue. Listened to ITMA 21.30 – 22.00. Last time I heard it was on Wednesday 6th. December 1944 from 14.30 – 15.00. I was changing in my room for the op. and could hear it on someone else’s radio.
Friday 11th May 1945
Sun bathed again today.
There is a meeting of the wheels to-night. Final arrangements for our evacuation are said to be the subject for discussion. C/O Weir seems to have been arranging with the Russian Commander of this area, Col. Gen. Butow, for aircraft to land here to take us out. Col. Zenke has just announced that aircraft are expected here tomorrow or on Sunday. Russian passports are being signed up in preparation. It really looks as if we are going soon.
S/L Evans had us fill in forms of interrogation which he signed. This gives us a clearance chit to be presented on arrival in England which should hasten our departure from the receiving centre. A Cabinet order says that all P.O.W.s are to be with their families within 24 hours of arriving in England. Length of leave is uncertain.
Some reports say 56 days, some 42 days and others a month.
Nearly 80,000 P.O.W.s have been returned to England so far. There can’t be many more!
Eisenhower has just repeated his ‘Stay put’ message.
Saturday 12th May 1945
G/C Green on parade this morning said that evacuation was due to start this afternoon.
Sick Quarters are first on the list, then come the British Personnel in the following order –
Blocks 8, 9, 10, 11 etc. so we are in a good position. What’s the betting I click for a clearing job which will mean a delayed departure?
At 2 pm. the first U.S. aircraft arrived at Barth aerodrome. Two Daks for hospital cases and the rest Fortresses. Joe here is in charge of mopping-up operations in the block so I shan’t get away until tomorrow. The rest of the boys in the room buzzed at 3 pm.! Six lads and I stayed from 3 pm. until 9 pm. clearing up – what a bloody awful job. Managed to get a shower at the end of it. Packed for the morning, nearly losing my fags as the Yanks still in the compound were on the prowl and almost swiped them.
[page break]

Sunday 13th May
Paraded at 6.30 am. And after a roll-call we marched out to the airfield. At 7.30 am. the first Forts arrived. We have spilt into groups of 25 and as each Fort came round the perimeter track we embarked. We were airborne at 8.30 am., and flew fairly low direct to England, having a look at Bremen and Hamburg on route. As we were using Russian time we had to put our watches back 1 hour to correspond with DBST. We landed at Ford in Sussex at 11.30 DBST. This completed the trip I set out on on the Dec. 6th last. It took too bloody long for my liking.
I have recalled the following dream I had some time during my incarceration. Obviously it was prompted by my fear that my family did not know my fate. I returned home to reassure the family that I was safe, in reasonably shape, and in a German P.O.W. camp. Having told the family this I prepared to leave, much to their puzzlement – ‘Why,’ they asked, ‘ since you are now home do you propose to leave?’ ‘Because I am still a P.O.W. and my place is a German P.O.W. camp’ I replied.

[underlined] TO JOAN. [/underlined]
In a P.O.W. Camp one has much spare time in which to think of one’s past life & of hopes for the future.
Personally I often think of my past few years with my wife, whom to me means everything. The times spent together are certainly much treasured by me. I thank God for our union & trust that he will always give me the Grace to appreciate her as I have done in the past & do so even more now that we are separated by so great a distance.
Physically Joan is very attractive, which was the reason why I felt drawn to her in the first place. But I soon realized that
[page break]
she had other qualities to be valued far above physical beauty. She is entirely unselfish, always having thought for others, & has a strength of character for goodness. The hazards of my job often preyed on her mind but she did not, except on very few occasions, show this to me; although I knew this from conversation with her parents.
For some years Joan has given up her Sunday afternoons to teaching juniors in the Methodist Church Sunday School & from what I can gather she has done the work successfully & is much respected by the children. We have occasionally met some of the children when we have been
[page break]
walking together. Joan being also a first class pianist, having studied music since eight years of age, has on many occasions given up evenings in order to take part in concerts in connection with the Church. Even I could not stand in the way of these activities when on leave, but I am glad that I did not, & hope that I shall not in the future, but will rather be a help.
Joan’s influence on me has been for the better, & I trust to God that our partnership throughout life will prove to be of benefit to us both, & to others. In play she always puts her “heart into it”. I used to enjoy the times we spent together swimming on the East Coast &
[page break]
to play opposite her at a game of tennis; she is always cheerful. On Sunday evenings I enjoyed immensely her “piano sessions”, although she would occasionally be annoyed with me for dozing a little, but good music & a warm room always seems to affect me that way. Curiously enough her Father is affected in the same way. Both of Joan’s parents have shown me many kindnesses, looking upon me as their own son; particularly so, I imagine as they lost their only son, Joan being now their only child.
My wife & I have together made numerous friends of various walks in life, & they have shown immeasurable
[page break]
kindness to us, which was evidenced by the good wishes & many presents which we received at our wedding on May 30th 1942. More recently, according to a letter which I have received from my wife, many friends have offered their consolations & willingness to help, since I was posted missing. I hope we can at some future date repay them, even in some small way for their thoughtfulness. To quote my Dear wife’s words in her letter:- “Everyone seem[sic] anxious to “look after me”, as they say, or you will have something to say if I am no fit & well for your return.
After the war there will, I imagine
[page break]
be many difficulties as things will undoubtedly be greatly changed from what they were in 1939. But together we can face them cheerfully. Setting up a home of our own, which due to no fault of ours we have so far been denied, will probably be a large problem. However, with some good fortune we may be able to get hold of a country cottage which can be modernised from a kitchen & sanitary point of view. Fortunately we both share a love of country life & the simpler enjoyments.
I can well imagine what anguish & wretchedness Joan would
[page break]
have felt when she received the unwelcomed telegram & I too had similar feelings when I realised that I was not to be with her [deleted] company [/deleted] again for some time. However, we both still [inserted] have [/inserted] our love for each other, although distance does temporaryly[sic] separate us, & have also hopes for the future. May God be with her & bless her always.
[page break]
[underlined] Camp Phrases. Etc. [/underlined]
Everything available for camp use is referred to as being “up” e.g. when rations are brought to the barrack a shout is given down the corridor “rations up”. This is followed by a minor stampede. If anything is left over it is referred to as “gash” & is available for anyone who desires a little more. New prisoners usually eat rather more than the older ones but after a while they settle down to an average appitite[sic]. Each prisoner refers to another as a “Kaiegie”[?]
The word “Slave” is given to the fellow in the room whose duty it is to fire[?] up the meals, “brews” etc. Each member of a room does a days duty in rotation.
[page break]
The bed is referred to as the “Sack” & it amuses everyone immensely if a few bed boards of a fellow “Kaiegie” fall out, particularly if it results in the upper “Sack[?] type” falling on the lower one.
[page break]
ENTERTAINMENTS.
Camp entertainment I found on arrival here to be well organised. Particularly the theatre which produces two plays about every six weeks. The British people produce one while the Americans are working on theirs which will follow. The scenery is amazingly good & is made by Sgt Vaughan. The acting too is of a high standard. The fellows who take female parts do them extremely well, as they are not easy. However, with them all being young “types” in the camp no doubt they have studied female mannerisms quite closely when in England.
About the middle of December some of the “Kaieges” dug an ice skating rink on the old sports ground & when the weather
[page break]
became sufficiently cold this was flooded. In the first place flooding was attempted by using a bucket chain. This however, was very slow work, but when a really cold spell arrived the German authorities allowed us to flood it from a fire hydrant. We managed to get about four weeks good use out of the rink before the thaw. Each barrack was allotted a skating time & on one occasion the Canadians gave us an ice hockey match. I had only one shot at skating as I found that my right hand could not cope with spills.
When the weather is reasonable there is always a game of either Rugger or Socer[sic] in progress on the new sports field.
[page break]
Each barrack supplies one or two teams. The Socer[sic] match between the officers & N.C.Os was a first class game. Ball control was really wizzard[sic] & I think they would easily equal third division teams. Perhaps they played all the better because of having eaten a good Christmas dinner – canned turkey & plum pudding.
On two occasions we have had a film show – Deanna Durbin in “Spring Parade” & Andy Hardy in “Andy Hardy’s Double Life”. Both of these films I had already seen [deleted] these [/deleted] under happier circumstances together with my wife. However, it was very stimulating to see them again.
During the evenings Bridge seems

to be the favourite game.
During the day lectures are in progress in languages, farming, engineering, shorthand, business subjects etc. I have been learning German but owing to not being able to get hold of a grammar text book it is somewhat difficult. In addition there is a shortage of note books.
I have however, been able to get hold of some good books on accountancy subjects so that I can keep in touch with things.

Hello Joan Darling, I hope Dearest that I shall be home again during the Summer. It will be a good period in which to recuperate & become civilized again. Last week I read a book called “The building of a cottage” by Esther Meynell. The finished product sounded most attractive. All the people in the room have been doing house designing but how they would work out in practice we don’t have too much idea. However it is a good thing to know what one would like. The cottage idea seems most attractive to me. I hope you are “bearing up” Darling under the strain of our temporary separation. I know I always long to be with you again. Your picture is still standing on the shelf at the foot of the bed, & I am glad that I have it. I made the frame out of a cigarette box & the shelf is just cardboard from a Red Cross box. Well cheerio once again Darling & all my love. Yours always,
Bob xxxxxxxx.

Hello Joan Darling, I was delighted to receive another letter Dearest. Yes! I agree that the months of waiting do drag somewhat & strengthens one’s desire to be home again. However, Darling we shall have to be patient as after all we have hope & our love for each other. I have been making a few drawings in a P.O.W. log book which was issued by the Red Cross. One of the fellows in the room has put in it for me a painting of the view from the room window. To me at the moment it doesn’t appear particularly beautiful, as I see the view many times during a day. I imagine that some years after the war it may be of interest. Actually the painting is quite good. The Americans are giving another play this week called “The Petrified Forest. We are looking forward to seeing this. The theatre shows are bright spots in a “Kriegie’s” life. I am still reading books on country life, cottages etc. My present book is called “A Thatched Roof”. The cottage described in the book is most attractive. All my love Dearest & God Bless.
Bob xxxxxxxx.

Hello Joan Darling, It now seems ages since I last saw you & it will be like heaven when we are together again. During my spare time, & I now have plenty, I often think of the happiness we always had. I’m certainly lucky to have such a loveable & loving wife. It would probably be a good idea, when the war is finished, to have a holiday at Windermere, where we started life together. I wonder how the policeman, to whom we gave a “lift”, is getting on? I don’t think he would have told us all his matrimonial troubles had he known that we had been married only that morning. I’m sorry I shall not be able to give you a birthday present on the 24th, but I wish you all the best Darling. What sort of Christmas did you have? This year we should be able to make use of some of our wedding presents. I imagine they are “browned off” with being stored. The February weather here is much the same as in England – wet. Well! cheerio once again Dearest & all my love, God Bless Bob xxxxxxxxx

Hello Joan Darling, I was most pleased to receive your letter & also one from your Mother. Needless to say your photograph is my most treasured possession. I have certainly longed to hear from you. You are far more brave than I & I am contented to know that you are happy again. I am quite fit except that my right hand still troubles me a little, but it can be fixed when I get home again. It is most pleasing to know that so many friends helped you during your trouble. I’m glad to know that Alan is going to see you. Thanks for dealing with everything so efficiently. I bought the suit for our next leave, but it seems to have been delayed a little. At one time I thought I should be home by Xmas. However, it shouldn’t be too long. No Darling I don’t think I shall like the idea of celebrations, although it will be wizzard [sic] to be amongst close friends again. We have a show tomorrow night “Hay Fever”. They are always well acted. Bob is quite fit & well. Please give my regards to everyone & thank your Mother for writing, & Pop for his help. It’s some years since I last saw Fred Skinner. All my love Darling, Yours always Bob xxxxxxxxxxx

Hello Joan Darling, Well Christmas has now passed. We had quite a good feed on Christmas day – canned turkey, plum pudding etc. In addition we had quite a good cake, made of biscuits fruit & canned milk. The icing was a masterpiece – made of treacle & chocolate. It is amazing what some of the “Kriegies” can do in the way of cooking. We shall have to stay at home & do the housework while our wives go out to work & earn the cash. In the evening our block had a game of horse racing in the library. At mid-night on the 24th we had a [indecipherable word] Communion Service & on Christmas morning a Carol Service. Both were very good & I am saving the programme as a souvenir. By the way if you are able to send a parcel, it would be a good thing to include a few razor blades & an odd tube of toothpaste. This letter will probably reach you near your birthday Darling, so I will take the opportunity of wishing you many happy returns. All my love Darling, Yours always, Bob xxxxxxxxx

Hello Joan Darling, I have recently been reading one or two books on farming, & country life generally. I don’t seem to be able to make up my mind as to what sort of a job I should like to do after the war. But I should definitely prefer to live in the country. We may be lucky in getting hold of a cottage of some sort. All my love Darling,
