Sueely you who have always re:speeded befoth so masc. nificiently, will not fail our men in the Ser- vices ill this their most eritical winter. The hardships they will 'be called upon to endure nth so great that we prefer, for our own sakes, not to think of them ; but we MUST think of them. We must realize them fully, and then do everything in our power to lessen them. More and still more civilian clothing is needed too. The terrible flying bombs are still causing desolation in parts of England, and in addition we are now,nble to reach Parts of liberated Europe for the first Vine. The Brat shipment of Chmadian clothing went to France some time ago Mrs. Ms- Eachran, who is now in England has . ar- ranged for it further large shiument to go to Yugoslavia. This is jest' the beginning. Can you—any of you—whose children are safe and clear-eyed, warm and unafrault-can yeei fled 1.0 do 'everything you possibly can to help thew little children of Europe? Whiter is at hand.

He was tine and ready to go last time I saw him, all tha confidence and spirit in the world. I have seen a lot of country lately, most of France and Belgium. We were at Dieppe for a while for a rest. The graves of the boys who were killed there in +42 are kept very well, lots of flowers and so on. The rest of our journey is more or less a aeeret yet. Since Caen nnd Faiaise it has been somewhat quiet in our positions. We had a very lovely time lately, were able to get into town once in a while. All the shows ave ripen and had•an indoor swimming pool, there was else a zoo, so we had Iota of entertainment. I also met my girl friend I went with In Englund so I was really happy.

So you can see how much AVO appreciate your efforts. Have been watching both in England and France for Mack but so far have not been lucky enough th meet him.. There are so many troops over here 'now that one would be for- tunate if he did meet anyone he knew from home. but will keep on looking and hopinsr for the best. It is real fall weather over here now and it looks as though there will be an- other winter of war. I hone it will he the last one.' In all the thousands of miles I have travelled I have never seen any Part of countay that I would trade for Huron county.
