  wonder what couples like Mr + Mrs

  Spurn get married for! Isn't it

  absurd, Muriel? So Frank has been

  visiting the "Rookery" - the b-a-a-d

  lad! And after his elder Brother's

  good example as well!!--! Oh well,

  I'm trying to make up for past sins

  a bit now, bless you. Still I only wish

  I were there now - in certain company.

  I was only thinking when I read it

  of certain pouring wet afternoons

  spent last year in a small shelter

  (giving a good view both ways!) on

  the top walk; + also the annoying

  old dames who would persist in

  exercising their "canines" there! Do

  you remember? (I guess so!) When

  we are put on convoy, we get our

  caps, liveries, boot etc returned (after

  being stored) + of course toilet

  requisites. Our kilt however is

  destroyed + all our pack, rifle,

  etc left behind. We get a complete

  
  

  ...Right side of paper

  4

  new rig-out subsequently - when

  or where I do not know yet. I

  think it must be because the kilt

  would be so difficult to clean of

  infection entirely. All these letters

  are disinfected - but nevertheless

  I think it safer to destroy them.

  Our ward is again full up - every

  bed - all dip. cases of course - in

  fact half the measles ward has

  had to be turned into a temporary

  dip. ward. I'm going to try + get hold

  of a red buckle for my cap, somewhere,

  (but I've no idea where) We are entitled

  to wear them when we came out here, +

  many batallions (eg 6th, 7th, etc) get

  issued with them. Well, lassie, once

  again I will close. One day nearer

  seeing you again, whether it be sooner

  or later. With all my love + an "extra

  special" good night à la Whitby.

  Your loving husband,

  Stanley

  Remember me to all.
