Dear Friends: Just a few lines to let you know I received your lovely parcel yester­ day. It’s certainly a treat for us fellows over here to receive boxes from back there. Everything ar­ rived in good shape and was real nice. We are still working and hoping to get back there again soon. Thanking you again. As ever, Glen A31109 L.Bdr. G. O.

Just to know that one is remembered brings pleasure far in excess of the value of the gifts themselves and mere words are poor things to express my gratitude for your kindness and my only hope is that some day I may be able to thank you personally. Sincerely, Ewart L. Cornish : A29159 E. L’. Cornish, 26I.IA.D., R.C.O.C., Canadian Army Overseas. England, Dec. 14, 1942 Dear Friends: Just a few lines to thank you for all the nice parcels I have received from you. They are certainly very ■ welcome. Also it’s very nice to hear from home. I often think of the short time I spent in Exeter and everyone I know there. I suppose there are lots of changes in things now. . I haven't seen any of the Exeter boys for over a year now. Chester Cornish is the only one I have seen since I came over here. I have had some very nice times over here and made Quite a few friends but would gladly come back to Exe­ ter and would certainly like to settle in for a session with the band again. However, perhaps another year will see us ail back again. Well, must close for now, Thank­ ing you again for your very wel­ come parcels. Wishing everyone the best. E. P. Learn A2355 Sgt. E. P» Learn, Ko. 1 Cadn. Radio Location Unit, Canadian Army Overseas * * « England, Nov, 80, 1942 Exeter War Time Committee: t received your parcel this after­ noon. 1 have a few moments now so this will be a hurried letter. I am afraid my vocabulary is small when it comes to expressing my appreciation for your parcel which arrived, Undamaged, this af­ ternoon. I must compliment the person a-ho took such great pains and care in packing each article. When I removed the contents I tried to put them back Jjut they just wouldn't go. I watched a fellow open his par­ cel today and his eyes were glisten­ ing with joy, while his eager fin­ gers tried to undo the knots which he gave up in despair and pulled the string over the end. As he removed each article his words were “Oh, gee! Real Canadian. Hey fellows! Take a look'at this, eh! Am I lucky?" He raised each article to his lips as they were replaced. This may give you a vague idea of how each and every one of us appreciates the efforts of any person partici­ pating in such an enterprise. It is these delicacies which make us more determined in our efforts. We know that some one is thinking of us as well as themselves and so we put our heart into our job and try to at­ tain a position to which our skill ahd knowledge will be to the best avail, Thanking you all for your kind and thoughtful efforts.
