An undated letter from Calshot. Probably Sept/Oct 1942. FX 83787 C4 Hut RN Unit Eaglehurst Camp Calshot Hants Dear Mum, Well, I’m sorry I’m late with your letter, as I wrote one out and forgot to post it so now as it’s out of date I’m writing one more. Things seem to be still going slowly down here. A bit of Scotland’s rain has found its way down here by the looks of it. It’s making me miserable because if there’s one thing I hate and that’s rain. We had a route march yesterday for about ten miles. I had a letter from Betty the other day. She started nagging about those books of hers. By the way, I’ve just found out one of my thumbs (the left one) is shorter than the right one. Did you give ‘ding gong’ the card I gave you Saturday night. Tell her I think she’s ‘the goods’ if she will get a ‘combined operations’ badge for me from the shop. (A red one) and find out how much the gold ones cost. If she does go, she had better take this letter and show it, if the guy wants to know who its for. I’ve got one badge already which has been issued to me, but as you can see, it’s not a very good one. Please send it back in your next letter. I must fall in for church now but I’ll as soon as I can. All my love to you and ding dong and Jim David Comments are closed.
