the late Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bolton, and

TV and V and will commence the beginning
of December,
Mr. A. L. Case resumed his duties at the
local 0.11,11. depot following several months
leave.
I must sincerely thank you for your
kind thoughts in sending ale a very
lovely and acceptable >parcel. I must
thank Miss Luker for her very inter-
esting letter. It really is comforting
to receive letters from home. After
all, Hensall is my home. Well, since
I have been located here in Belgium
I have been in some very lovely and
modern places and homes. The Bel-
gians are really a wonderful people
and they just can't do enough for us.
VT6, they say, are "our liberators
and believe me they really shower
their appreciation upon all ranks and
armies of the Allied forces. The Can-
adian forces have certainly been giv-
ing an excellent account of them-
selves and if the operations continue
as well as in the past month we
should see the end of this battle soon.
Then we over here will be able to
return to Canada and settle down
with our families again. That is the
main theme that keeps us going.
LT, JACK SCOTT
