\nDear Mum,
\nWe are leaving here for France tonight. \u00a0We left the “Cambridge” hospital last Wednesday and have been in this camp ever since. \u00a0I am looking forward to seeing my old friend John McPherson again when I get over.<\/p>\n

Vic is enjoying a weeks leave in London and we are hoping to see him at the station as we go through. \u00a0We have just finished the last lot of cake and butter and I can tell you it was “some” good. \u00a0Many thanks for the cake. \u00a0Everyone in the hut agreed that it was the best they had tasted since leaving N.Z.<\/p>\n

The weather is very cold and the first snow that we have seen fell here yesterday. \u00a0We have had no letters for a month so we may get them any day now.<\/p>\n

No time for any more now
\nWill write\u00a0from oversea<\/p>\n

Norman<\/p>\n
