Dear Austie

Here I am back at barracks after a weeks holiday in London. They closed the school from Nov 6th to 13th on account of the "Flu".

Everybody was leaving here and not knowing any other place to go to, I went up to London. I would like to go up to Scotland or Ireland but not knowing any one up there I did not feel like wandering around alone.

I was very lucky being in London when the armistice was signed and I also saw the Lord Mayor's show and they said it was better this year than it has ever been before.

There was some celebration last Monday, the day the armistice was signed. I am very glad I was there to see it all. I wrote and told Fan all about it so you see her letter. I am not lazy, but I don't like writing letters.

A got a letter from you written
