Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home

20 September 1944 Stalag VIIIB, Teschen, German

My Own Darling Jean,

Guess you are all close to the wireless these great days of big events. Our work at this place is not too arduous. In fact I with 11 others from the last place were sent here as only being fit for light work. Actually darling I have had a couple of spells in hospital in Germany which I have not before mentioned. I tell now as the end is in view. My darling we'll still have a hard row to hoe afterwards if we marry. I'm afraid I'm not as young or fit as once. These years of youth and strength have gone down the drain. But with luck and love we'll grab our happiness yet.
