month was up he did not care for that

position, so what he wanted was to get into

the Reading post office, as a postman,

so he applied then & of course he had some

papers & questions to contend so he passed on

all of that & he was accepted, but for six

weeks he was sent to a place called Pinner

& train for a postman there & if he passed 

everything there, he would have the position of

being in Reading post office as a postman

which he was, but while in Pinner he rode

a bicycle on his rounds, I so well remember him

telling us, how wet & cold it would be I even

can remember seeing him in the big cape he

had to wear on wet days to keep the mail from

getting wet. Well everything went well there for him

so he came home, & was taken on in the 

Reading post office as postman that was in

1913. Well the next June 1914 he was entitled 

to a fortnight holiday so he went to Jersey

for his holiday & had a lovely time in
