God knows we art grateful enough to America for what she is doing. We already owe her more than we can repay. I don't mean money, for this time America. I think, may not be -so keen on her pound of flesh. But as I have already said, if you could see for yourself what this country has had to face, you would not write so easily. I have had friends -university friends and others of years’ stall ling -who went through Greece and Crete. New (Zealand suffered there, you know. Hearing their letters and the letters of others, you would not call this a

small war.

I must tell you one little incident from Greece. I suppose you know that the Maoris are the aborigines of New Zealand. They are a fine people in every way; and they sent their Mi ri battalion to Greece or rather, it was sent there along with other N. Z. troops. In the old days he:oie battle they used to dance a war dance called the haka. Well, things were desperate in Greece. The Maori battalion were told that -there was work to be done with the bayonet. one of their number went out in front of the battalion; he as leader and they clad as modern soldiers are clad, danced their haka. Then they charged, a battalion strong.

Only a ban li'ul camp back.

Actually I am an observer, that i.s, the one who navigates the machine an 1 drops the bombs. I don't know what his duties are in vnur Air Force, but I presume that they will be more or less the same. In the machine are pilots, the observer, wireless operators and gunners, so that it is quite a little crowd. I think I have already told you that we were trained in Canada yes, of course, I told .\r>ii that. We crossed over to England as one of a convoy dullest passage I ever made across any wa-t*-i. incidentally. Then we were sent to what they call an O. T. U. where the final p dishes are put on our training. Then we are posted to a squadron. I have not yet been fostd, though hope to b? in the next time weeks or so. Then life will begin in real earnest. I may be vicious, but it would give me much pleasure to see a crater in Berlin the sizie of those I have seen in London. I shall

write and tell y*m about

SOMETHING THAT NEVER BEFORE HAS BEEN DONE ON THE SCR^

rettes are always thankfully received. I'd be ever so grateful if you think you could send some. I'd share them round to the other lads. Cigarettes are becoming a community affair over here. If one chap has some, well all smoke them; and so th.; story goes. If it is any trouble at all for you to send them, don’t. I will hot be able to send any money over for them, because it’s the devil’s own job to shift a penny out of this country in war time: but I” send you some little thing reminiscent of the R. A. F. You know it would be rather fun to get a parcel from America. You have no idea of how we long for mail.

ther lovely just now. The heather is out, and the hills are just a purple carpet. Then the lochs, long slits of silver in the sun, turn the ground far below into something of a mosaic silver and purple. That is only on .•» fine day, and sad to relate, more often it rains. This is a hell of a climate, really. If this is what they call summer over here, I'd hate to be benin their winter. Brr! I'm not lcokli» fe forward to another winter.
