LETTER #10 - 20 JAN 1944 TO HIS BROTHER



This is the insignia that came with this letter.


Taken from the book "Finding Your Father's War" by Jonathan Gawne p. 293-294.

My Uncle would be part of the air crew as a gunner.

  1. I'm surprised in the last one he can mention how upset he is at the way they choose gunners, but in this one he can't mention the planes, lol. Makes sense, though. It's sad to see how tired he is, and how the initial enthusiasm has faded, but he still seems very determined and excited to talk about what he's seen - but isn't allowed to! I'm also so happy you have that patch!

  2. Yep, was still in the envelope. It is the second patch. I have another one just like it, but with gold thread, more shinier and a decorative button. I think we will be hearing more complaints for awhile until this initial training is done.
