Dear 'Pegleg'

Many thanks for your real Airgraph boy - it was good to get. You appear to be having a pretty good time, but I guess you will be a working man by the time you get this. I'm looking forward to the day when we meet up again at Vic's, but I think that day is still a long way off. A week or so ago I tossed in my Postman's job (and to my(?) stripe) and I am now back in a tank as a gunner. Mouse(?) tossed in his job too, and he is driving the Sherman I am in - a good combination eh! Rusty was camped close to us for a while and I saw a lot of him. He is 100% and was enquiring after you. Bill Shannon is ok too but at the moment is a long way from where we are. Young Andrews, from Bainesse, is in this squadron and I often see him running around. I saw Bill Aldersley the other day. Spade Saunders, Geoff, Mouse(?) and I had a great day in Naples last week and got well pissed at the Fleet Club. Bruce Grummith(?) is just out of the O.C.T.V. and is in the 25th with Jack Finlay, who, by the way is in the pink. I still don't like Italy much and wouldn't mind a spot of leave in Cairo. We still only get one bottle of beer per week - "no Guano." Cheers Ron and all the best. Regards to "Spelly" when next in the Imperial.
