Bryn at Bourg Leopold - 6th February 1945

 

61^st Recce Regt

RAC, BLA.

6^th Feb 45

Chotie Darling,

                                    I’m afraid this will be rather a short letter as I’m rather pushed for time.  What I must say however, is that I’ve drawn a leave ticket for the 28^th February.  As things are going it’s more likely to be the 1^st to the 3^rd of March.

            I don’t know what your chances of getting leave are.

            I’ve tried to put it back a bit but they won’t wear it.  In any case it’s very risky putting it off as I should hate to get killed off before it.

            Will you write instant and let me know the form?

                                    All my love Darling

                                                Dicker.

           

This letter was forwarded to Fort Godwin, Kilnsea, Easington, near Hull

 Anti-aircraft ATS, possibly Fort Godwin, Hull

 

then forwarded again to St Margarets, Sea Lane, Pagham, Bognor.
