| Sgts Mess 6 TDS Boscombe Down Amesbury, Wilts Thursday (December 12th) Dear Mother, Thanks for the letter and I hope to get home on the 16th (Mon Next) My pass has come through and only remains to be signed so all going well I aught to get it on Sun Night. If you are putting my room ready you might also get my suit out of its put away as my final military rigout is somewhat the worse for wear and aeroplane grease . Of course I am not yet by any means certain – know what the army is and at the last moment they might discover that there were too many passes in already and turn some down – it would be just like them . I was only officially transferred from Lake Down to here in orders last night !! Quick work I am quite well and no flu at all here on Salisbury plain at all though Mrs Faulkener may have it on good authority that the whole area is in the cluthches of Bubonic plague. Elections are raising a good deal of controversy here but soldiers are not voting for Coalitions + Conscription – oh dear no! They are mostly voting for labour who want to help them out of the army and I don’t blame them either. I have got a job for this week as sergeant of the men's canteen. It means staying in there every night from 6- 9:30 and seeing they don’t get Drunk or …. + turning them out on time. It’s a very monotonous job but has the advantage of carrying with it plenty of free beer !! Its quite the thing for them to treat the sergeant and they are quite disappointed if the sergeant can’t accommodate any more . Tons of love + kisses your loving son Dudley. |
