Eat, Sleep and Post

Sunday, August 30, 1942

My first entry for 9 days. Things are exactly as they were nine days ago. Nothing new. We’re still on guard here at the ammunition dump. It’s still a matter of eat, sleep and post. The rest of the company is located at Kiladeas in a modern camp constructed by the U.S. Navy. Every convenience is at hand. The rumour that “F” Co. was split is not true.”

My mail was pretty slow that beginning of the week but toward the end of the week it picked up. Yesterday 4 letters from Jane and 2 from Mother. Will answer those letters tonight.

If we stay here another week my guard relief will get 16 hours off next Saturday. I plan to go to Omagh if we get the time off. Am anxious to buy a portable phonograph if it’s possible. If I get it will send home for records. Sure would like to hear from of T. Dorsey’s stuff.

And so to those letters —.
