Airgraph No 6
17th Dec ‘43
Dear Mum,
Some time since I wrote last but news is scarce.
Nothing of interest has happened over this way.
The last three nights two
of the boys & myself have been out duck shooting. The first night we went
out we had good luck. One of the boys had a shot at three ducks on the wing
& the lot of them came down. A bit later one came over on its own & he
came down too. I got second highest score with one duck & one night hawk.
The third fellow got nothing. It was the firt time I have ever had a shot with
a shotgun & I came home quite pleased with myself. The last couple of
nights it has been a different story. The other two have got a couple each
& all I’ve succeeded in doing is filling the sky full of shot. That first
duck must have been very, very unlucky.
The weather for the past
week has been a bit better than usual. We have only had one wet day but the
camp area is still a sea of mud & it’s just as cold as usual.
No more now but will
write again soon.
Much love to Dad, Bet
& Leo, Lovingly Yours Frank
