EDITOR'S NOTE: Two letters were written by Winfred on Feb. 5, 1944; one to the Folks, and one to his sister Margaret.
Feb. 5, 1944 (1) 1250 WF Station #144 – Old Buckenham, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred just got a letter from the Folks. He says it is cold there like MO. He has been getting the papers they send; comments about Cliff being on the move; did not figure on being there so long but will be. Winfred goes into detail about the scenery – it’s nice but a little old-fashioned; everyone rides bikes; there are pubs, picture shows, restaurants, etc.; people treat ‘yanks’ nicely. He got a promotion and is now a staff sergeant.
