[deleted] 4th [/deleted] 3–9–43.
Dear Folks,
Received the parcel O.K. when I got back here, it was waiting for me.
The last test at Finningley went off O.K. except for stomach ache again. However John Cox got the Bends & so we don’t know whether he’ll be passed or not, but hope so.
We’ve got Paul Gibb the cricketer with us here Dad. He was also with us at Charlottet [deleted] ion [/deleted] (pilot) but I didn’t realize it.
Well, we’ve landed on the European mainland at [deleted] land [/deleted] last folks. Hope it comes off O.K.
[page break]
Did you he [deleted] re [/deleted] [inserted] ar [/inserted] that talk 3/9/43 after the one o’clock news two days ago on P.R.U. Also in all the papers. Very interesting. One chap had breakfast in Scotland lunch in Russia & supper back in Scotland on the same day. Apparently we get the newest & best years before anyone else & it’s a most envied job. I hope to goodness we get it.
I was standing by the entrance two days ago watching the new chaps arrive, when in walked Denis. Same as ever Looking very fit. He got some leave in New York & Chicago & had a good time. I’ve had a few beers & games of shooter with him. He should be home on leave this week–end or Monday. Had an A.G. from Basil written to Canada & re–sent here.
I haven’t had a cig
[page break]
for two days. Going to smoke a pipe instead. Do you want my cigarette ration, Dad, I can get them cheap.
Had a tooth filled yesterday. Felt fed up with lectures so I decided to go to dentist for him to look at my teeth, as I knew they were O.K. However he found a hole in one teeth & chopped nearly half of it away & filled it. Took a long time too Still I don’t get meat caught in it any more.
We [deleted] did [/deleted] [inserted] do [/inserted] dinghy drill & parachute drill which is quite interesting. For dinghy drill we put on soaking wet battledress & flying kit, discarded by previous class, & also a Mae West, & jump from top stage into water & climb into dinghy. Its much more difficult than you might think
[page break]
with wet heavy clothes on.
Hope Jack is O.K. after recent heavy losses. Must be very worrying for Mrs L. & Auntie A
I don’t know when or where we are going to be posted, or when I shall get some leave. Have to wait & see.
Much love to all.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Madgett,
I had hoped so much that you would hear news of Hedley, and I write now to say how terribly sorry
we all are at the lack of news which might help to soften your anxiety.
Do not give up hope; better news may come through.
Ernie is very upset at the news, also Mary.
With all our sympathy in such an anxious time, to you all.
Yours Sincerely

Dear Mum and Dad,
I received your letters and parcels OK a few days ago and very nice they were too. The pea-nut had “spread” a bit, but otherwise it was alright.
Had another letter from Nell the other day and seems to be keeping the same as per usual.

and shirtless army” – we’ve got a run with Regular Army Don R’s round Cleethorpes, Sleaford and Boston etc. – about 150 miles in all. It’ll be OK if its not raining, but it’s 10 to one that it will be – knowing the weather we get round here.

Well, I think I’ve run out of news for now so I’ll say
Cheerio
