HMS (LCI) 185 c/o GPO London England 18.4.43 My dear Mother, What do you think of [ (censored)]? Pretty good eh. I wonder what will be next. News is very slow in reaching us. I’ve only just heard about the bombing of Berlin some time ago. Things back home must seem brighter now, but you are still getting raiders of a night. You people, are having just the same life as we are, if not worse. I wish I could send you some colour pictures of where we are now. As it is I can’t even hint where we are. It’s as hot as hell though, but it’s only warming up for the summer. The cook says, he is going to start, cooking in the Ice box. Food is a bit scarce though. We don’t do so bad but have to be careful. If you can, will you have a picture taken with Jimmy some how. I’d like one to stick in my wallet. We went ashore a few days ago for a walk. We found a fruit tree. One of the lads climbed up on my back. After he had his fill, down he came, but no fruit for me. Well, cheerio for now. Keep you chin up till I’m home again. All my love David. |
