EDITOR’S NOTE: Two letters were written home by Winfred on April 1, 1944 from his new base; one to the Folks and the other to his sister Margaret.
Apr. 1, 1944 (1) 1800 WF Station #114 – Hethel Air Base, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred lets the folks know he has been transferred to a new outfit (389th B.G./564th B. Squad.) and hasn’t had time to write; tells them to notice his new address change; it’s a nice place, much better, but he doesn’t like it a well yet; hasn’t heard from anyone in a while; on the same base with Cousin Jr.; asks if they got the money order he sent; must close now; and says Mr. Rainer received his picture okay.
