Dear Mum & Dad, & Peter,
As you [deleted] can [/deleted] will see, we have moved to Cheshire, but no one knows for how long we shall be staying. We left Scarborough yesterday on the 8.10 a.m. train having to get up at 5.30 a.m. in order to get ready. If you are interested (I don’t suppose you are really) we [deleted] went [/deleted] stopped at York, Leeds, Dewsbury, Stalybridge and Stockport. We lost 2 chaps on the way, but not from our Flight.

We arrived Winslow 12.45., and had to do an uphill march with full pack for the mile to the camp in very hot weather. After dinner, we were “let in” good and proper. We were told that there was a show by Bebe Daniels & Ben Lyon of “High Gang” at the N.A.A.F.I. When we got right to the other side of the Camp to the N.A.A.F.I. –no short distance – we found we had been fooled; no show or anything was on. Then I had the best shower I have ever had – they are marvellous showers – and then it was time for tea. This was grand –

lettuce, cold meat and pototae [sic] pie, bread & butter and heaps of jam. We do no work here, physical or mental; most of the time I’m going to spend sunbathing – the weather is perfect now with a refreshing wind.
There are passes for us to go to Manchester and a few other surrounding towns: I am going to try to get one to Liverpool – that is if they [inserted] give [/inserted] me enough time to get there and back. I could see Edith then.
Just as I was going into the mess for breakfast this morning who do you think I bumped

into – Bernard Wright. It’s a small world. He came last night from near Brooklands. He had passed out of E.F.T.S. and is going to Canada for his S.F.T.S.
I sleep on the top deck of a double decker bed, which creaks & groans every time you move, and they wobble like anything.
The morning parade is 1/2 hour later here which means more time in bed. We only get up for [deleted] ber [/deleted] breakfast, and wash later on.
How have my photos come out? when you have let

Nell & Marg have one, would you please keep the others ready to send on to me when I settle down. I [deleted] have [/deleted] know at least two people who wish to have one. Also, have the movie pictures come out yet?
There are plenty of places to eat in the evening in Wilmslow itself. We went [inserted] to [/inserted] a place where a plate of 4 sandwiches cost 1 1/2d. & tea 1/2d. per cup. It was all run by volunteer civies, and there was a wireless, darts, & table tennis. We did not stay very long, but it shows [deleted] was [/deleted] what decent sort of people they are in Wilmslow. Also, 1/2d. seats in the cinema are 10d. for us.

So now you know. But they have just put up a notice to ask you not to write here unless you must. The Draft No. “Litmus” on the address is very important, so that if your

letters (or my pen) arrives too late they can be sent on to our Canadian address.
We will know this address [deleted] w [/deleted] before we leave here, so that you can write there [deleted] will [/deleted] I am on voyage.
You will notice that I [deleted] w [/deleted] am a L.A.C. now, as we all [inserted] are [/inserted] now. I spent nearly 2 hours stitching my “props” up, and they were not without any finger pricks with the needle.
There was about 400 on parade this morning, and met another chap from school. You would not know him –
[page break]
[underlined] 8 [/underlined]
in fact I did not know him terribly well – but his name was “Williams”. He’s going to America. I also met another chap I knew at Uxbridge. So now I’m always on the look out for fellows I know.
Well, I think that’s about all the news for now. Hope you have a good Bank Holiday – I suppose it will be just another day to us –
All the Best,
With Love from [underlined] Hedley [/underlined].

My Dear Mother & Dad,
I wrote to you last about four days ago, but I have not received any further news from you since. The last letter I received from you was on the 24th July written on the 6th, & the one before that I received was on July 20th written on the 8th. That was the quickest letter to get through. Both these letters enclosed two photos of the “Old Lady & the Old Gentleman” taken at different positions in the garden, & in my recent letters I explained how delighted I was to have them & how pleased I shall be to receive the others which should be on the way. I am feeling rather concerned because I have not received any cable from you since July 12th & before that you were sending cables regularly every ten days or so. I am wondering if the reply I sent to this last cable did not get through as well as the one in reply to yours of June 30th & accordingly you decided it was not worth while cabling again. I can assure you that all cables you sent up to July 12th I received & I have sent replies to all those which were pre-paid. I hope that tomorrow I shall receive news from you. Sunday is generally a good mail day, & tomorrow will be Sunday. If you are still writing twice a week, or more, I am due at least three letters. I hope that you will have received more letters from me

recently. You should be getting a fairly regular supply now, because I have been writing twice a week since April 15th. The summer now is getting fairly well advanced & I expect soon the weather will cease getting hotter. The last few days have been unpleasant, cloudy, hot with the Sirocco blowing up from the desert. It has looked all the time like rain & yet nothing happens. One goes about the place feeling half dead & it is difficult, particularly in the afternoon, to shake off the lethargy. To-night, as I am writing this letter, I am pleased to say it is cooler than it has been for some time. To-day, two of our fellows received “Players Cigarettes” from England. In each case sent from their home via the Red X. about 12 packets of 20 in each parcel. Accordingly I have smoked two Players Cigarettes to-day, the first since the day I landed in Africa. The fact that they were English, & the old familiar’s made the joy of the occasion. As actual cigarettes they are a dead loss compared with the ones we buy here for approximately one eighth the price. The whole room smelled scented afterwards. You have no idea just how often we have discussed these “Players” out here. Terrific store has always been placed on them, more because of what they have represented in the past I suppose. Well, yesterday was the 1st August & what a contrast to the way I spent it last year. Doubtless you will guess how that was. Before I finish my letter I must not forget to mention your Wedding Anniversary. I shall not forget to think about you on the day, although it will be well past
[page break]
[underlined] 3. [/underlined]
by the time this letter arrives. I often wonder while I am out here how I shall like wearing clothes again after going about so scantily attired. And talking about clothes what has happened to my wardrobe? Is it being utilised? Unless I alter I don’t expect many of my suits will fit me when I do get back. I often think of the multi garments I used to wear when setting out on some of the more wintry motor cycling rides, & comparing those times with the present makes me think a lot more. I have the blue pullover out here that Mother knitted, & I wore it quite a lot at Kef. last winter. I also have the small reversible one that E.W.7. gave me. The petrol lighter you gave me is still in every day use, but my cigarette case & fountain pen are lost. The old wrist watch is still going strong, & I have with me the wallet & cuff links which originally belonged to Uncle Alec, also a number of photos taken of John & myself & different girls of motor cycling days, another of the three of us which John took on the memorable day when the Riley attempted the Trough of Boland (Not sure of the spelling of Bo? Bow? land.) So you see I have quite a number of Small souvenirs to carry about with me. The other day when ploughing through the pages of an Old Strand Magazine I came across a photograph of the village of Selworthy in Somerset & that brought back a host of memories. It is nearly two years since that holiday. I made a mistake when I said we each received a 1 oz packet of tea in the Red X. parcel. This should have been a 2 ozs.
[page break]

packet. One bloke has managed to make 120 cups of tea from his. I question the quality & the strength of the resultant brew, because although Tony & I did & are still doing well, I doubt if we have reached that figure with our joint packets. The only item over which the Red. X. tripped up was that of the tinned figs. I am still trying to decide which it was, - the figs, or my last rice pudding, which catapulted me so effectively to the “Cabinet” on a succession of occasions throughout last night. I have too much faith in my rice pudding to blame that. Explanation. For the translation of “Cabinet” refer to the French dictionary, if you find it necessary. I believe there is another parcel on the way to us from the Red X. this time containing “Players Cigarettes” We also hope they will continue to send food parcels at regular intervals. I really do praise this organisation & their work. Writing paper of decent quality is expensive to buy & I don’t think you will mind me using this stuff. One certainly can write lengthy letters on it. I was glad to hear that the little cactus plant is growing outside. There were some at Médéa with long stalks about the diameter of a drain pipe extending fifteen feet or so. They looked like giant asparagus. There were marvellous flowers there including many English Varieties, but you could grow as good flowers in Market Street as you could at this place. And now good-night & au revoir until next letter. Every best wish & all my love,
Douglas.

Dear Kaye
I’m afraid this won’t be a very long reply to your very welcome letter as I’ve got to catch up on a hell of a lot of correspondence because I’m embarking on board ship on Mon, and we’ve been told that during the time we’re aboard no mail is to be received or sent! I’m expecting to be away for about 3 weeks so you can understand I’ve to let my numerous “fans” know what’s happened or else they’ll be giving me the “chuck over”.
Where we are going to is a mystery, although somehow I don’t think it’s any death & glory stunt (I
[page break]
hope not!) I imagine it’s for some very extensive manouvres [sic] & there is some talk of leave after they’re finished although don’t take [underlined] that [/underlined] for granted – I’ve been let down too many times before!
In a way, I’m not sorry to be leaving this place – the role of a country yokel would never suit me I’m afraid. I believe we are returning to somewhere near Glasgow. So I’ll be able to write you some interesting letters from there, as it’s full of life [deleted] and [/deleted] or, I should say – the spice of life.
I think the least said about your Post Card from Skegness, the better don’t you, Kaye? I’ve been hunting all over Hawick for one to send you, but I haven’t seen one to equal it. Or perhaps it’s just my mind eh? that saw the rather rude double meaning!
Well, Kaye, I’ll close now and will write again as soon as possible and tell you all I’ve been doing on board ship. Well, nearly all anyway! Best love to P & C & everyone at Lincoln Tons of love Hope to [underlined] see [/underlined] you soon! Ron xxxxxxx
