Letter to Ruth Mallory written from Avington Park Camp, Winchester
The adjunct said he wouldn't be on church parade for the next two weekends but the course he was taking was due to go to a remote place called Lavington in Wiltshire. The Colonel had mentioned Friday 26th but he feared they would keep them there all weekend. After completing the course he would get 48 hours leave and then could put in for six days overseas leave before going out.
The canvas part of his bed had not come with his kit. Asks if it had come back to her and if so could she send it by parcel post.
Interesting lecture on gas shells. The Germans had great difficulty getting gas masks due to the shortage of rubber.
Hoping to get to Winton after tea to get the clutch adjusted on his motorbike.
[Continues later] - it was raining so couldn't face going to Winchester. Still doubtful if he would be home after the trip to Lavington but he didn't think it worth postponing the christening.
