Got your letter today and was glad' to know that all you Hen- sel] folks are well. I am in the best of health myself. There is nothing to write about. You said in your letter that the Institute were still sending parcels. I hope they don't send me any more as I won't be here to get them. We are supposed to leave on Sept. Sth for England, and then home. That will be our V. E. Day, This Company is going home with the 1st Division, Be sure and'not let the Institute send me further parcels, Also thanks again for the parcels they did send me. ROY KYLE, Dear Gladys and All: A few days ago I received your very lovely box. My most humble but very sincere thanks to you all. I realize sugar and foodstuffs are rationed back home still and yet you send 111e the most delicious hone -macre candy and other things, I passed tete box of candy around to my lads. For a few of them, it was the first home-made candy they had had for a couple of years. May I say,'"Thenks a Million" for them, As for the rest of. the box it was grand too. We are still quite busy here although we don't have the grim battle casualties we had a while ago. Most of our severely wounded have recovered enough ,to bereatriated 11s.you• no doubt know, I don't know when I shall be "Canada bound," There is no word of our hospital closing. However; Z suppose it won't be,a great While at the longest. 1 Must say I'tiu looking forward to going home, Although I have enjoyed 1119 work and would not have missed the experience for a good bit. I was in London ,on V.J. Day (luckily it was 111y clay off). We saw the procession to Parliament in the pouring rain but it was worth No doubt you people celebrated too. From the papers, Canada Seemed to do her share, It is really Wenderfu' to think the fighting has stopped. The sad part is to see all the lads who have sacl'ificed so much and re- member the ones who will not come back. Will you please give my best re- Bards to all my friends around home. 1 should write many m0310 letters than I do but when the weather is nice, we go out, and when it isn't, well, there's some other diversion—a poor alibi I know. However, I love to get letters and shall try to answer occasionally if anyone has a spare minute to write to me. In closing, thanks again to you all for your very generous pale cel, I assure you it is greatly appre- ciated, (N.S.) MARION DOUGALL Dear Miss Luker: Your lovely parcel arrived yesterday in tip-top condition. Please convey my hearty thanks to all' thosewho helped in making it up. You ladies sure know what the boys titer here need. The foodstuffs will sure be a welcome addition to our Air Force rations which are quite often very plain. At present I am stationed at Uter- ren, near Hamburg, Germany. I have taken several jaunts into Ham- burg, but, outside of service clubs, there is very little doing for amuse- ment. Much of the city is in ruins and every place you go you see heaps of brick and rusty, twisted steel girders where a former build- ing was situated. When the Air Force bombed this city they sure hit their target smack on the nose. The German people in Hamburg are apparently well fed from what I have seen of them and their dress, well, it doesn't look any different from Canadian civilians. Most of the gang seem to be get- ting home again. As for myself, I don't expect to be home much be- fore next June. Those cookies and candies are swell and again I say thanks a lot ladies. I'll wind up this note now and get back on the job. Hoping to be able to thank yen in person soon. NORRIS B. McEWEN, AMP' AMP' RLis TTHEATRE Seaforth; NOW SHOWING- THURS. PRI. SAT..
