Europe, April 20th, 1945.
Dear Mother:You have probably
wondered what had become of me.
Well, this is the first opportunity
I've had to write you in the' last
three months, The Germans evacu-
ated the Camp I was in on Jail.
22nd, and since then we were force
marched approximately 600 miles.
We had very little food, no cig-
arettes, insufficient clothing and
consequently many of us suffered
from frost -bite. dysentry, etc. Every-
one marching was in a very weak
state and several of my personal
friends didn't make the trip. , For-
tunately I am feeling not too bad,
aside from being weak and very
thin, I • don't think there is anything
wrong with me that rest and good
food won't heal.
I was liberated on the llth of
this month, which I think was one
of the happiest days of lay life. The
Germans had been force marching
us and they couldn't get us any
rations, so Frank McGregor and 1
sorta said the heck with that, so we
got away from the main marching
column and went into a small vil-
lage, which was captured by our
Forces the next day. (I'll tell you
more about it when I get home)
Frank is one of the members of my
old crew.
I don't know exactly when we will
be moved from here to England, but
it won't be very many clays and I'll
wire you as soon as I get there.
Sorry 1 cannot tell you more in
this letter, but the main thing is
that I've had a H -d of an experience
and have come through it.
Don't worry about me, as P11 be
seeing you very soon. All my love,
"Stirling"

Dear iVPotlfer:'"T"ila've`beeii "h'e"xe
for a few days now and should have
written sooner, but I have been so
busy filling in papers and answering
questions etc. that I didn't have
much time.
Everything -is being done for us
here to help us get back into the
swing of things again. You cannot
imagine how strange everything is
to us. I know I was lost the first
couple of days.
They have a special mess -hall for
us too, and Boyl we get nothing but
the best and loads of it. You know,
eggs, milk, porridge and stuff like
that. Almost all of us have some-
thing wrong with our stomachs, and
we can't eat much heavy food as
yet. I lost over 40 pounds on the
three months march and I wasn't
up to standard when I' started, al-
though I reckon since my release I
have gained half of it back. The
only. trouble is that it is all going
