If a man entitled to such certificate does not possess it, he should apply to the District Officer Commanding the Military District in which he was rejected, (i) A man who is not subject to the Mobilization Regulations because twig an enemy alien who has not made application for naturalization may obtain a certificate from a registrar of his Divisional Mobilization Board indi- ca- ling that the Mobilization Regula- tions do not apply to him and such certificates must he obtained by all such enemy aliens: (i1) A man who is an alien and neither' a national of Belgium, Czechoslovakia, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United States nor Yugoslavia and has not applied for naturalization may be relieved of his duty under Mobilization Regulations, but he gives up his right to future Canadian citizenship after the war; where such men have applied for such relief and been granted such status, certificates will be issued by registrars in appropriate cases, compliance with the order interval will be allowed to permit men to provide themselves with whatever document, as referred to above, they may be entitled to hold.

He looks pretty nice in OVERSEAS I his white jacket and he is getting fat also. I was trying to play the ac- cordian .this afternoon but have got out of practice. 1 had my supper with dad tonight, the best I've had for five months as we have been sleeping in our trucks and cooking our own meals at times. Now we are sleeping in the bush. I woke up last night with the rain in my face but I just pulled up the blankets over my head and went back to sleep. Hung my blankets up to dry the next day. Boy it is a great life. Home was never like this. Well, ma, the war is looking a lot better so maybe we will all be home sometime .next year. I received a WELLINGTON FIRE Insurance Company Est. 1840 An all Canadian Company which has faithfully served its policy holders for over a century . Head Office — Toronto H. C. MacLean Insurance Agency Wingham Her goes for another letter, I've certainly been 'very busy lately, I can hardly write for two minutes without an interruption.. I have been out on scheme lately. I am regimental guard to-night and am kept quite busy. What do you think of Musso now? I'd hate to have to say what I think of him, Well I guess he got pretty seared and the rest will soon have the jitters, The' news is very good.' I guess we are making very good head- way in Italy. The day is not far off when we will make a terrific smash at them all. The bombers are going over here night and day lately, There have been hundreds goipg over, I saw a sight yesterday. There was a great rumbling noise in the distance and soon it became very loud. I step- ped out of my hut and up above us there was away over a hundred flying fortresses, flying over in close for- illation not too high up. They were just returning from paying a call on our nasty neighbor, Jerry. Last night again our heavy night bombers were going over in great numbers too. It was just as the moon was coming up and they could be seen very well. It's night and day for our enemies to suf- fer now, I guess a couple of years ago they didn't think they would reap their righteous reward for their evils. It was nice of you to send me all those parcels. Thanks a lot. I receiv- ed a parcel from Lloyds' a few days ago. It was very nice and .very good of them, I thought. My thanks to everyone who has kindly remembered me at all times. If you will thank them for me I will write later on my- self. Since I last wrote I have been around is bit. We went on a twenty mile march and plodded through some terrific country. Was quite tired for awhile after that. We are moved around quite a bit lately. We were on gun sites for awhile, back here again on schemes. I was also away on a short course. We keep on the move quite a lot but eventually get back to our little old home. While on gun sites I got parcels and cigar- ettes. I was quite out of them so naturally was glad to get .them. I went for a swim in the ocean today and that made me feel good. Just a short time ago I got a letter from Tapper Gray, so I knew the rest were over here. I planned on going out on Sunday to see them when all of a sudden in popped Frank, Porky Mitchell, Tapper and Ted Elliott. I could hardly believe my eyes, but it was certainly them all standing there so fat and happy. They sure look well. They all agree that I have got a little thinner, but I feel fine. Well anyway I went out and got the Ham- monds and we sure had a real happy re-union, and did a lot of talking in a short time. I got a letter from Lloyd (his brother) saying he landed safely. We 'are making plans to meet each otrer. He enjoyed his trip over and wasn't sick. He said he: saw Joe Tiffin and Jack Orvis on the same boat and other boys from around home. He thinks like I do that England is a very lovely country, even now. So ‘vhat must it be like in peace time. He talked of the wonderful scenery. He was also up in Scotland and liked it and saw some interesting places and things I saw. Lloyd gets a kick out of the locomotives over here. He also said about he and his boy friend going to London where they saw a wonderful parade. It was called the "BattIe of Britain Procession". There were thousands of soldiers, sailors and air- men in. it. The parade ended at Buckingham Palace. It is a marvelous ; building. Lloyd said they were fortu- 1 nate to see the King and Queen for a few seconds. There was an immense crowd, Lloyd said. All were stretch- ing their necks to see the Royal. Couple. He said they walked for blocks then and they saw Westmin- . ster Abbey, went in and had a look around. He said he could not begin to - how b uutiful it was. He said he would love to attend church service there some time. Ifany fam- ous people arc buried in the church and there are inscriptions on the walks and everywhere you look. I agree with Lloyd, it is really wonderful for • I saw it' all myself. You could really write a book on the .voriderful sights ,. you see. He also said they saw the parliament buildings and big ben, I do hope we will see each other before • ti cry long. Lloyd said he bought a London paper that said "The lights of Old London would soon be on again". Won't that be grand. I agree with him, I think this old war will soon be over so keep your chins up and write lots of letters. We love letters from home. Well I, must close now. Remember me to all my kind friends and neighbours and all my love to you all. Joe P.S.—I went to a dance last night and had a real good time. I've also seen some good shows lately. The people treat you swell over here. Hammond and I went for a long walk today. They have beautiful homes here and the flowers arc most wonder- ful and such lovely hedges.
