To Sergeant John R.M. Valentine,
British Prisoner of War No. 450,
Stalag Luft III, Germany.
From Mrs. Valentine,
Lido, Tenterden Grove,
Hendon, N.W. 4.
No. 43
7th January, 1943
My darling Johnnie,
I seem to have been spending some money since I wrote to you on 1st January. First of all I decided Frances must have a warm cloth coat and leggings and went out prepared to buy some ready made, as I haven’t much time for dressmaking nowadays. However the ones we saw were made of miserable cloth and cost 2 ½ guineas at that, so I decided I had better make them myself of decent cloth, and accordingly got some nice warm blue stuff from Lees. They will cost under £2 and be much warmer – provided I don’t boob the making up! I haven’t started on them yet, I shall have to leave it till the weekend.
Then last Saturday Frances and I went down to the allotments and had a chat with old Thompson. He always enquires kindly after you and is very friendly. I bought some shallots, which I haven’t had time to plant yet, and also 56 lbs of that favourite fertiliser of his, N.O.M.; we staggered home under this considerable load, Frances had to walk as the pram was too heavy, and then I proceeded to spread the stuff over the vegetable garden. It was too late to dig much of it in, and I was afraid we might get a frost which would make the ground unworkable. However on Tuesday Barbara took Frances out for a walk and I went at it and got it all forked in. So I hope we get a better vegetable crop next year. The extra forking will do the ground good, even if the fertiliser doesn’t! Thompson has now started a pigclub, and built the styes himself, next to the greenhouse. It is a flourishing concern and the pigs all look very happy.
On Monday I had a date with Bish – a pre-wedding-anniversary celebration, though he didn’t know it. We met at Leicester Square, and had a very good lunch at Quality Inn, then went to a National Gallery concert, at which a very young-looking boy pianist played exquisitely, and which we very much enjoyed in spite of the chilliness of the place; then we had some hot coffee to warm us up, mooched along Piccadilly looking at the shops – Roy enjoys just looking as much as any girl I know, he is real fun to shop with. He bought himself an expensive torch from Dunhill’s, we tried in vain to get China tea (found I had already spent my ration) and a gramophone record he wanted for his sister’s birthday, then called in at Heal’s to collect the tray I bought for our Christmas present, yours and mine – it had been damaged a bit in the post but they have repaired it perfectly, and I am very pleased with it indeed. I have now put it away in the Chinese chest, because I don’t want Florence to go and bust it before you see it. While we were there I saw to my amazement that the antique walnut cabinet which I fell in love with when I was there before Christmas, was still apparently unsold. We looked it over again and Roy admired it as much as I did, and encouraged me in a most irresponsible way to buy it there and then. He is really largely to blame for the fact that I [underlined] have [/underlined] bought it – I only needed someone to agree with me how very nice it was. Anyway I left it then, and all that evening while I was working at the factory I kept thinking about it (incidentally Roy came back here, played with Frances, had supper with us, stayed on with Ba’ after I had gone to work playing a few gramophone records and went home soon after 8 pm.) I was quite convinced that it was good value for money, a beautiful and useful thing in itself and a sound acquisition, but was worried lest £45 was too large
[page break]
a proportion of the money we have for furnishing to spend on one item. However in the end I decided it was worth risking, since if need be we can always sell it again, though I should be very sorry if we had to; and I am pretty sure you will love it as I do. So on Tuesday, I went up to Heal’s again and asked one of the extremely refined salesmen about it. he was very surprised to see that it was there at all, apparently is had been totally overlooked, and I can well believe that if it had been brought upstairs to the main showroom, instead of standing in a rather dark and obscure passage downstairs, it would have gone long ago. He remarked what a fine thing it is, and anyway I bought it (cheque on Grindlays, to be repaid out of saving certs, leaving one cert. for £75 in that book). Afterwards I asked him about what date it would be and he said 1730, in any case not later that 1750. I can’t remember whether I told you before what it is like; anyway it is walnut with attractive metal hinges and locks, 3 ft wide and somewhat similar to your cupboard in our bedroom only larger and differently fitted. It has 3 deep drawers and one shallow drawer below, and above two doors which open to reveal about ten small drawers round a still smaller pair of drawers which in turn open to reveal about ten small drawers round a still smaller pair of doors, which in turn open to reveal three wee secret drawers right at the back. I am already planning which drawers I shall stake out a claim on, though I suppose when the time comes I shall meekly give way and let you have them. I would love to have some for sewing and knitting things, some for games and packs of cards, some for photograph albums – oh, I expect we shall find plenty to put in them once we get going. At the moment there is some small restorations to be done here and there, the cost of which is included in the purchase price. I was going to have them keep it there and store it for us, but on second thoughts I wanted to have it home as soon as possible and shall put it in the drawing room opposite the music cabinet for the time being. So I have written today to ask them to get on with the restoration and deliver it as quickly as they can. I think I had better get out Private Chattels insurance extended to cover it, the premium won’t be vast on £45 and I think it is worth it. I’m so thrilled about it all, I sometimes think I can begin to visualise what our house will be like, won’t it be exciting when it all begins to come true! How I wish you were here to choose and decide with me, bus as you can’t be, I think I have been wise to buy these few things; now we have the nucleus of a home (though perhaps this cabinet wasn’t strictly a necessity!). I shall continue to get odd things for the kitchen etc when I come across them and can finance them out of income, but I don’t think I had better get any more big things, unless I find something very exceptional. Do write and tell me exactly what you feel about my spending our money on my own like this – I can tell you that I hate the responsibility of it, but feel I should be shirking it if I didn’t make some attempt to get things while there are any left. I only wish I had more time to look round the shops – but perhaps it is as well for our finances that I haven’t!
On Tuesday I went to see “In which we serve”, an excellent film about the Navy, produced, directed and starring Noel Coward. I very much enjoyed it. Yesterday Frances and I went to another party, this time at Mrs. Boyds. There were seven children, who played on their own in the playroom while we mothers chatted round the drawing room fire, and a good time was had by all. I do so enjoy going there. Today Frances and I have been to tea with Jean Chapman and her son Richard – he is a spoilt boy and needs several good spankings! However Frances managed to enjoy herself as usual. Work at the factory goes on as usual. If I keep it up long enough I shall have paid for the cabinet out of my earnings! I have had a letter from Joy Witton-Davis with photo of her son now a year old. She tells me Bridget has a daughter, must write to her. I thought of you such a lot on Jan. 6th – may the next be spent together! Always yours, Ursula.

A brief later message states that in another outbreak of fighting a very important line of hills 15 miles west of Mateur and 20 miles south of Bizerte have been captured after a fierce battle.
Flying Fortresses bombed Sfax, where a big power station was left in flames. Sousse was also heavily attacked.

A new Fifth United States Army, commanded by Lieut.-General Mark Clark, is being formed in Tunisia to fight with the British First Army.
U.S. AND BRITISH PLANES IN SWEEPS OVER BURMA
American and British aircraft carried out attacks on many Japanese positions throughout Burma during the day.
American planes attacked enemy positions at Mandalay and shot up railway yards and timber warehouses, while R.A.F. machines raided river and coastal craft along the whole west coast of Burma, damaging over 60 of them.
Two direct hits were made on a large Japanese ship in the Irrawady river and it was left in flames.
CHILE TO BREAK WITH AXIS
The Chile Government is expected to break off diplomatic relations with the Axis Power next Friday. This will leave Argentina as the one remaining larger south American Republic friendly towards Germany, Italy and Japan.
In the Caucasus
GERMANS FLEEING BEFORE SMASHING RED ARMY BLOWS
Moscow announced in a midday message yesterday that the Germans are in full retreat in the Caucasus following the capture by the Russians of Nalchik and that six more towns were captured during the day’s advance.
Another arm of the great Russian Caucasus offensive struck in the vicinity of Mozdok, east of Nalchik, and it is reported that 500,000 crack German troops are fleeing before the fierce attacks of Russian tanks, artillery and Cossack regiments.
In their retreat the Germans are blowing up bridges and mining roads in efforts to check the Red Army advance. Pravda says the retreat is becoming disordered and that the Cossacks are causing very severe losses to German and Rumanian troops.
Narrow Bottle-Neck
The Russians are pursuing the enemy down a narrow bottle-neck and more than 150,000 Axis troops are believed to be in danger of isolation if the soviet forces can continue their westward drive. It is thought that a number of Germans have managed to escape the trap but this does not lessen the importance of the Soviet advance.
Large quantities of German artillery have fallen into Soviet hands and many prisoners have been taken. The enemy dead is placed at a very high figure and special Russian forces are remaining in the rear to bury them.
Surprise Attack
To the south and south-west of Stalingrad Soviet troops are still moving forward in spite of desperate German efforts to stem the advance.
To the west of the city Russian forces launched a surprise blow and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
Forging Ahead
The Red Army is forging ahead in the middle Don area, and south-west of Velikie Luki the capture of several inhabited localities is claimed.
78TH U.S. CONGRESS OPENED
Senator Sam Raeburn of Texas was again elected Speaker of the House of Representatives by a majority of 11 votes over Senator Martin of Massachusetts, when the 78th Congress of the United States was opened in Washington yesterday.
Thousand of Bills will be dealt with during the session.
PRESIDENT LEBRUN MYSTERY
The Fighting French radio at Brazzaville stated yesterday that President Lebrun had arrived in north Africa.
Rallying Effect
This was denied in London although it was pointed out that if the President did reach north Africa it would have a great rallying effect on all Frenchmen everywhere.
12,000 TONS OF BOMBS ON MALTA DURING 1942
More than 12,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Malta during 1942 by Axis aircraft, it was revealed yesterday. In reply the island ground and air defences destroyed 955 enemy aircraft, and there were 300 “probables.” R.A.F. fighters destroyed 773 of the planes, while 182 were shot down by ground defences. R.A.F. losses were 195 planes, but the pilots of 89 were saved.
Convoy Attacks
In addition, island-based planes attacked 46 enemy convoys, 6 single ships and 5 naval vessels. More than 50 ships were definitely sunk and 40 probably sank after attacks. Eighty-three ships were set on fire and their cargoes destroyed.
BRITISH NEARING MISURATA
An unconfirmed report by Radio Morocco says that the British Eighth Army is on the outskirts of Misurata, 125 miles from Tripoli and less than 200 miles from the Tunisian border.
[underlined] SOUTH-WEST PACIFIC [/underlined]
JAPANESE SHIPS BLASTED IN RABAUL RAID
Allied aircraft made a very heavy raid on Japanese shipping concentrations at Rabaul on Tuesday, according to a south-west Pacific report. The planes attacked in two waves and bombed the targets from medium height, destroying nine and probably ten Japanese ships, totalling more than 50,000 tons. They were set on fire with direct hits and when last seen were in a sinking condition.
Seven Planes Destroyed
Munda, on New Georgia island, and Bougainville were also attacked by Allied planes. Seven Japanese planes were destroyed during the raids for the loss of two American fighters.
Japanese Fleet Massing
Messages from the south-west Pacific indicate that the Japanese are massing a large fleet in the Solomons – New Britain area for another attempt to land troops on Guadalcanal to try to seize Henderson airfield.
NEW EASTERN STATES’ PETROL AND OIL FUEL CUTS
The O.P.A. announced in Washington yesterday that all pleasure motoring will cease on the eastern seaboard from noon on Thursday.
Heating Cuts
Heating fuel cuts in the eastern States are expected shortly and it was stated yesterday that people would have to decide between running their cars or heating their houses.
Massachusetts Shortage
Oil fuel is reported to be so low in Massachusetts, says a Boston message, that many houses and apartments will be soon untenable.
United States shipyards are now launching four merchant ships daily and by May the figure will be raised to five a day.
ODDS AND ENDS
PETS
A column in a London newspaper headed “Unlovable Pets: No. 1, The Goat”, ended: “Goat’s milk is very rich, nutritious, unappetising and obnoxious. It turns red litmus paper blue. So do goats,”
At the foot of the column was added: “(Tomorrow – No. 2: Pierre Laval.)”
[symbol] “He made his bed, now he’s lying out of it.”
EMBARRASING
A man was troubled by an inability to remember names, at times even those of old friends. He was dining one day and looked up from his newspaper to see a familiar face. But the name escaped him.
He stood, shook hands warmly with the man, and said: “How are you, where have you been? Will you join me?” and other polite remarks while he was trying to recall the name.
“I’m the waiter, sir,” said the embarrassed fellow.
[symbol] Married life is like a bath – not so hot after you get used to it.
COULD BE
Golfing on links adjoining the Paramount studios, Bob Hope passed a set where a Western mob scene was being filmed. The crowd of extras, ugly, tough, unshaven, had little to do except shout and shake their fists.
“Paramount shareholders, I presume,” said Hope to his companions.
[symbol] “Her waist, like the Equator, is an imaginary line.”
BLOOD CURDLING
A practical joker stepped into a hotel elevator with a friend and began talking as though continuing a conversation: “So I turned on the light and there was this girl in the middle of the floor. Her throat was slit and there was a great puddle of blood. Beside the body was a knife. I was in a spot. If I called the police, there’d be a nasty row, and if I didn’t somebody’d find me there. So I took out my handkerchief and carefully . . .”
At this point the elevator stopped and the two men stepped out, leaving everybody in the car goggle-eyed with astonishment.
