France, Aug. 10, 1944 Dear Mr, and Mrs. Middleton: 1 received your most welcome let -- ter yesterday, the one you >'wrote July 26th. I am glad to hear you are all fine. I am still okay. You. know I am in France now. I like 14 here fine, it took ire almost three years to get where I wanted to be. It is a beautiful, country very much like Canada but the buildings are away out oft date. I was really surprised at the wonderful crops but the farmers are, having a hard time to harvest it. The soilis much the salve as at home. I know because I have dug lots of trenches to sleep in. The only thine that bothers me are the mos- quitoes. At niyht they work in 9's, two lift the blankets and the other one crawls right in with you. I guess helpis scarce now. I wish that I' was at home to help you with your apples'this year but I should be home by next • spring, if 1 ant I will be web satisfied. I was surprised to hear that Jim Shearer was farming now, he was really a good head. I haven't made up my mind but 1 guess I will buy a farm when 1 come back. , Tell Ted I was asking for hien. So .Margaret is overseas now, if.I get a leave back to England I will call on her. T know the place where she is at. There are three Canadian hos- pitals in 'France now. 1 saw Albert Craig last night for a little while. He is looking fine. The boys really appreciate the way the Red Cross helps us. It makes us feel great to know that there are so many people helping us boys to do our job. It isn't so soft here. _I haven't had a roof over my head for the last six months. Well I must close, as 1 have to go on a' convoy up to the front line with a load of ammunition. Well the best of luck. • Howard. In a letter to his Mother written Sept. 8th, Howard, says that he didn't learn much French and will have to learn Belgian now. He also says they have been very busy and the •mail has quite a time to keep up with them. He saw Albert Craig that day and he was line. BAYFIELD 26-8-44 A4386, Pte: W. Dermalf, H. L. L of C. IL Q.
