Letters Worn Overseas
Dear Mrs. Joynt:—Well, just a
few lines to thank you and your
fellow members for the lovely In
stitute parcel which I received to
day. It was really swell. Everything
was real nice in it. You women
surely deserve a lot of credit for
all the work you go through but
we surely appreciate a parcel from
someone we know in Hensail. I
received a car.d and letter from
Dr. W. Jpynt at Christmas time.
Was glad he wrote. I can always
go for the letters, so answered him
a few days ago, so hope he got it
O.K. You will likely h'ave lots of
snow over there by now. We haven’t
a bit here—all we get is rain and
mist. I was wounded a couple of
months ago. Am back in England
hut am coining along fine now. So
must thank you all again for the
lovely parcel.-?—Byron (Doc) Kyle.
Dear Gladys:—Many thanks for
the welcome letter and card which
I received two days before Christ
mas. It sure is good to know that
so many people still think of us,
after all these years -overseas. I
had cards from 32 people and that
decorated a good part of the wall
in my room back in a town where
some of the personnel of the Bat
tery are staying. I was lucky to be
among those who made the trip
back for the day. I left early on
Christmas Day in a jeep without
a windshield and was nearly frozen
by the time we got back. The Christ
mas dinner sure was grand. We
had turkey, roast pork, dressing,
gravy, vegetables, mince pie, pud
ding, cake, oranges and nuts, choc
olate and licorice allsorts. It was
the best dinner I had in the army.
I do hope you people are right in
thinking that this job will soon be
over. All the papers in Canada seem
to have that idea. I would be very
happy aoout it myself, I am always
glad to hear when some of the
boys get back home. I am hoping
that my turn will come shortly.
After all four years is a very long
time. I Received the grand parcel
a month ago in perfect condition.
I have been pushed around and
busy the last few weeks but did
manage to drop Mrs. Campbell a
few lines just before Christmas. In
case she has not had it yet, many
thanks for the grancT treats that
you people send over to us. I am
fine and getting along well Hoping
this will find ail you people in the best Of health and thanking you
for your good work. — Austin
Schwalm.
