ELLIOT | WRITES FROM CALCUTTA Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Elliot lust week received several letters from their son, Sgt. Pilot Harold A. El­ liot, with the R.O.A.F. in India. In one letter he tells of a visit to Cal­ cutta. R, A. F„ India, Aug. 25, 1942 Deal’ Mother and Dad: I received a letter from Marion yesterday, written last February 23, just eight months after it had been written. I had a week-end pass a week ago and with my chum, Coupal, went to Calcutta. We arrived there Thursday night quite late, booked in at the Grand Ho­ tel and ordered a late breakfast to be served in bed the next morning. I’ve been so used to getting up ear­ ly that the next morning I was up at six o'clock. Coupal was some­ what peeved at me for running around at the time but I just couldn’t sleep. It didn’t happen again. The next three mornings in a row it was twelve before we hit the deck. We had a swell bedroom with twin beds, fans and everything. The bathroom was off the bedroom as weil as a sitting room. The hotel supplied a bearer for each room so we were pretty well fixed up. The price for the room and meal was ■ten chips a day, each, or about ten dollars and a half. We had breakfast morning for a slight It was really nice to cent in bed every extra charge, get some de­ porridge with" milk and su- again; also coffee. Two wai- served breakfast every morn- which was better service than get in most hotels. The stores in Calcutta do not open until ten o’clock so there is little doing before that time in the morning. My chum and I got in a rickshaw the first morning to see some of the city. We let guy run with us without word, to see how far before getting winded, over fifteen minutes, through some of the some didn’t buy anything. We found a place though where we could buy ice cream sodas and banana splits and as it was the first time since we left Canada that we had run into anything like that, we made somewhat of a hog of ourselves. After lunch we ran into some of the boys who were with us on our course in England and so spent the afternoon exchanging yarns with them. That night we went to the best show in town, “Ball of Fire”. Saturday morning we got up at 12.30 for lunch, then went back to bed again, so it was quite an un­ eventful day. In the evening we went to a. dance, but as there were not enough women to go around we just listened 'to the band and went to bed. It was the first decent sleep I’ve had since I left the hills over three months ago. Sunday, after getting up at 12.30 for lunch we went for a walk for about an hour, -then to a show, “Men From Texas”. It passed off the afternoon. We sat around the lob­ by talking to some fellows we knew until about twelve and then went to bed. You may think it funny, talking of going to bed so much, but we have some unusual hours around here. This morning I was up at 4.3 0; yes­ terday it was 5.30 and the morning before it was 4.0'0. We get ;used to it after a while and we offset it by being in bed between eight or nine o’clock every night. When we get a chance to sleep in a real bed with a fan we make use of it. Calcutta is rather a queer city in many ways. It has street cars, taxis and a few modern buildings. I think the strangest thing in a city of that size is to see cows and bulls lying on the street or walk­ ing along in a crowd. One after­ noon in a rainstorm one was' un­ der an awning taking up the space of about four people. Even in Cal­ cutta, cows will be cows so one must, always watch where he puts his foot. I saw an officer make a mis­ take and he certainly had a funny expression until he got to a shoe­ shine box. The streets there are lined with beggars, some of whom worst deformed bodies seen. Honestly, some of too horrible to look at. Monday we had another look through the stores, picked up my watch that I was having fixed and went to another show. In the evening we went to the station to get our train, and no ’train, told our trouble# to the R.T.O. ficer and he got the mail train stop for a minute at our station we couid get back on the job. Writing on September 11, Har­ old said that he Jhad received 36 letters, the first having be'en writ­ ten December 1, so his Christmas mail was just catching up to him. It was really swell reading, he said. Write long letters on thin paper, he advised, and send lots of snaps. His address is: R68262 Sgt. Pilot Elliot, H. A., R.C.A.E.
