Dear Sis,
Well, I finally got around to writing again even if it did take me a long time. As you can see at the top we are now in Belgium and have been busy moving and so on. We came all the way through France to get here, which was very interesting. Everyone likes it a lot better over here, the people are so much more friendly than they were to us in Italy. You can buy all the beer that you want in the cafes here and it is not bad stuff at that.
Thanks a million for the fags which I received some time ago and also the letter and pictures which I got just a couple of days ago. Tell Olive and Helen that I hope the war ends soon or I will be missing the big weddings.
I will try and send some pictures soon. I am still in the cook-house and will soon be a qualified cook, if you can imagine it, but don’t get any ideas about when I get home. I have seen quite a few interesting things in the last while but am not allowed to talk about them so will have lots to tell you when this is all over.
Well, I had better sign off as I have got to go to work. Will try and not be so long in writing again. Hoping everyone is well. Write soon again.
Love, Allan
