That sure is a record to be proud of. I think his place will be hard to fill. Well, Mrs, Beavers, things over here are very quiet j-ust now, but I think before long there will be a change. We have had no air raids now for -a month but a person never knows when it will start, and when it does I think he sure has a sur­ prise coming to him. I feel sure that all the boys from Exeter will do all they can to bring freedom, to the British Empire, I don’t know how long it may last as things sure happen fast when they*start, So • far I haven’t been in many air raids. I was in one bad one but was lucky, enough to get out without a scratch. The weather has been mild up until this week. We haven’t had. any snow yet but we sure get plenty of . rain and fog, which is quite com- I mon over here. I imagine England I would be a nice place in peace time, but lit looks far from nice now as most of the beauty spots have been done away with and machine gun pits have been put in their place. For myself, I think dear old Canada is the best yet. Well-, I will close now, hoping to hear from you in the near future. Yours sincerely, Chester Cornish A40’87 Sgnm. C. C.
