Wednesday
In England, Verne is back at Station 153 from London1 . . .
01-24-45
Up at eight thirty a.m. and had breakfast. Sausage and potatoes. Sure did starve while in London. Don’t see how the British exist on such food. Guess they are used to it. Didn’t feel so good this morning. Have quite a bit of pain in my lungs. Left ear is slightly frost bitten. Got it on Saturday. Pains quite a bit. Got some passport photos taken yesterday but they turned out darned lousy. Sure made me mad. They’ve moved a new crew into our barracks while we were gone. Don’t like losing the ground crew men we had. They were all swell fellows. Another two weeks before pass. Letter from Aileen.
