EDITOR’S NOTE: Below is Winfred’s first letter home since the D-Day Invasion. No mention of the invasion; it would have been censored if he had.
Jun. 14, 1944 2190 WF Station #114 – Hethel Air Base, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred scribbles a few lines to the Folks; asks if anything is interesting or new at home – any of the boys been home lately?; everything is as usual; enjoying the summer weather; mail has been scarce; is ready for another package of cigarettes and candy; wants posted on his bank account; asks if Cliff writes much – knows he is busy; guesses they haven’t seen any of the folks for a while; and closes.
