EDITOR’S NOTE: In addition to the journal entry made on Feb. 25, 1944, Winfred wrote a letter home to the Folks. No mention was made of the bombing mission he was on that morning. Clifford also sent home a letter.
Feb. 25, 1944 (1) 1510 WF Station #144 – Old Buckenham, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred writes the Folks. He says everything is still O.K. – feeling fine – his cold doesn’t stop him; just finished dinner and has 12 letters to write; hears from Cliff often and thinks he is O.K. not wanting to move; was chopping a little wood this morning because they are out of coke (fuel) for the heating stove; asks about Irondale and if any of the ‘boys’ have been home; is anxious about the picture; has a pass coming and will get to see England; there’s always a big argument going on in the barracks; and hopes all are well.
