My Dear Mum & Dad,
On 31st May I left Folkestone for London, spent the night at the club there, collected my passport at the War Office next morning and some cigs from Halifax House then caught the Stran-raer Express at 4:45pm. Arrived at Stran-raer at 4pm. Military police still taking particular care of POWs so was escorted through customs and given a seat up on deck cabin.
