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. 2, 1944 (2) 1810 WM Station #114 – Hethel Air Base, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred apologizes to Margaret for not writing but has been busy getting organized after being transferred to the 389th BG/ 564th B. Squadron; it’s a nicer field but he knew everyone at the old base; Cousin Jr. is there but hasn’t had a chance to find him; saw a U.S.O. show with James Cagney in it; asks about St. Louis and the Dickeys; will write more next time.
