EDITOR’S NOTE: Below is the first message Winfred sent home to his Folks in 1944.
Jan. 8, 1944 1050 WF Station #144 – Old Buckenham, UK via New York City, N.Y.
Winfred writes the Folks ‘after quite a while’ (10days). He is somewhere in England and is fine; he received a letter and some Xmas cards; would like some home town news; asks about ‘the old gang’ – he has lost their addresses; and says there isn’t much to write about.
