Bread & fresh butter & even meat is on our menus pet.
At last Australia sees the wisdom of bypassing
the pen pushing, red tape merchants in base areas
and sending these essential foods to the men who
do the dirty work. In a few cases some are too remote
to enjoy these things but that is understandable.
Our unit, due to the laissez faire of the senior officer
has had a bad deal with Canteen Supplies. Today we
received our first issue for 3 weeks. 4/- worth. At
least I had the satisfaction of telling him of his
crass inefficiency in other negotiations but he can't
even take an insult. I'd won't hold my tongue now,
as they can't send me any further on. By nature
I'm not perverse but I hate inefficiency when it
costs mens' lives & I'm an interested party. "It's nae
fish you're buying", to quote Bobby Burns, "It's thems lives".

If it's at all convenient my darling, would
you inquire from the Commonwealth & B.L.W how
much stands to my credit? I keep transferring paybook
credits to the Saving Bank & I've lost track of my
worldly assets. (You're not worldly I'd have you know,
you're just Heavenly).

Don't get mad with me none. Audrey - Theigo
I've done it. Yes Audrey's written two letters & I'm
just a little embarrased about replying.

IMPORTANT - Any reference to shipping or troop movements will result in the delay or mutilation of your letters.
