From Capt. L.* M. Curtis, St. John, NB. August 6, 1941 Dear Mis. Tigbc: Please express ta theL members ai the Women's War Auxiliary my vcry sincere appreciation a! their kindness ta includtag me on the list o! - shal we say - beneficiaries. The fact that you people do think about the boys here is o! mare importance ta their morale than you realize. Most a! us are plenty homesick at times. We miss the everyday things o! home and the common contacts that we scarccly îealized werc as import- ant and part of us. 0f course your work is practi- cal too. The boys really need mast af thc tbings you send. Most o! the boys toy witb the ides o! getting home - by f air means if Possible. If thcy do go A.W.L. it is s0 very much better for tbcm if they can get back under their own steam. Escorts arc an expensive luxury for thc soldier. I ssy this because a little missionary work at home migbt help. If wives and sweethearts could be pcrsuaded ta tel thc boys that everything at borne is gatag well and that tbey will be happy ta sec them when Uiey get leave-rather than that tbey miss the lad so mucb it can scarcely be cndured, maybe it would help the boys ta stick it. That is anc more difficult task that bas ta be donc by the women who wait at home. One bates ta sec the boys getting fines when s cheering at- titude from borne might belp. The people here are vcîy fine and the girls most attractive. Sa that's nat bad-is it? From Gnr. Bruce Cameron, C50564, No. 2 C.A.H.U. 32 L.A.A. Baty.

Other times we have toa mucb ta, do, especially whcn wc aie away on schemcs. That is anc time we boys on motorcycles get lots ta do.

You bave ta sec Uic Rock Gardens whicb anc can't describe. One tbing is certain, England is anc lovely country and I have covered thousaxids ai miles Uiis last year on my motaîcycle as that is part af my job. It is nothing ta sec flowers giowing beside a sheil hale in London or alongside of same anti aircîsit gun, but tbcy are there just the same. The weathcr bas been good, lots o! heat, 92 degrees in the shade anc day - just like borne. All the boys bave goad suntans, some ai us are neaily black. Thcy caîl us dark raw-boned Canadians and that is just about correct. Our M. O. bas not much ta do. Heard the Midland boys have landed but don't know for suie. It will be just like "Old Home Week" if tbcy have, as I have not 'seen many boys from borne. Haw is that tin box "Barb" Petbick has caming alang? Cigar- ettes aie bard ta get over here. Some ai the boys from home may flot be so lucky as I am in getttag tbem frorn home. Hope there's not too many pass by every day and just look the otheî way. I have received 300 cigarettes andI razor blades but maybe some o! the other boys !rom home have not. Sa if you have any room in your good paper just kind ai re- mind sorne o! themn it is still there. I arn sure the boys from town will flot let thern down when their turn cornes ta show just how good fighters they really arc. Remember me toalal your staff and wishing you ail good luck.
