team will be forced to travel as far as fergus and paris this entails a good deal of expense and whether any backers will come foih will remain to be seen we wouijj judge from the ojla listings just

1941 dear sir i would like to thank you and the members of your staff for sending me the georgetown herald each week since being on active service ii awaited and read with eagerness by corp albert simson and myself and now we are in england we are anxi ously waiting for canadian mail and news of georgetown we have been here for two weeks now and our camp is situated in one of the quietest little spots in england we are surrounded by rolling hills and the grass is a rich green and looks like velvet it seemed strange to us on our way here to see the small fields which looked like model of agricultural areas and to see vegetables of all kinds and oowen growing in the gardens cosmos were growtig wild along the railway em bankments and there were all forts of roses most of the men havent recoverea from their surprise when they saw the trains here after hearing of such crack express trains as the corona tion scot they expected huge en gines of course it was quite the re verse and when the small train really opened speed they were astounded in some of the cities we passed through we saw plenty evidence of some of the air raids and it makes you wonder how these people can still laugh and have a good time despite jerry and the blackout last sunday opl simson and my self were in a small town about five miles from the camp and had just come out of the yjhjca deciding to go back to camp when a young couple out for a walk with their two children invited us to have tea with them needless to say we accepted and had a most pleasant and enjoyable even ing with them i doubt if they will ever know just bow much their kind ness meant to us we should be going 90 our leave soon and hope to see some of the lome scots and georgetown men who are in other units we have been ery fortunate since we landed and have had exceptionally fine weather up to date but are expecting the wet day to set in anytime we seem to feel the cold winds here more than we did in canada a different
