Somewhere in England
Dear Folks,
It is after 10 PM and I just finished
making a semi-hot cup of nescafe
that I took out of a K unit ration.
Well, I did have a sip or two of it.
My H & S Company clerk, Eldon, was
going to have a little drink of it.
Since my cup doesn't have a catch
on the handle it spilled all over the
table and my paper when he tried
to pick it up. Eldon was going to
write a note of apology on here but
he thought he might mess this
up worse than it is!
I am just about to set a small can
of hash and eggs on to heat before I
eat them. We shall see how they
come out. We always manage to
get a laugh or two out of ourselves
sometime during the day.
