KP Duty - Kitchen Police (or patrol) duty can vary in jobs in the kitchen.  Not a favorite job by many!
What to know more?

  1. By this point it's been about a month that he's been gone, right? I'm curious about the need for army shoes. I sort of figured that would have been supplied. I can't imagine having to wake up at 3am, and I go to bed pretty early!!

  2. Keen eye, Nyssa! Looking back at the previous letter, I think he was tired and made an error. It should have been dress shoes not army shoes. I would hope the Army supplies this and besides they would probably be boots than shoes.
