Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home
20 July 1945 Folkestone, England
My Own Darling Jean,
Still at Folkestone as you see. Three hundred names had to come off the list and they drew by ballot. Fortunately I was on the priority list as I had returned early from my first leave (28 days) and applied for early inclusion in a draft so I'm definitely on the next boat to leave and the 24th is the date unless any damn thing crops up again. Have had all my injections and vaccinations now, final one yesterday, and hence not feeling overly bright today.
