Airgraph No 7 Soft mud, no mail or parcels

 Airgraph No 7

AUST. No 34171 
LAC Cooney, JF 
No. 3 Squadron R.A.A.F.,  
Cent. Medit. Forces
29th  Dec ‘43 

Dear Mum,

                  Your airgraph letter No 8 dated 2nd Dec arrived a couple of days ago. Have not received any more sea-mail or parcels since I sent you letter No 111 but three days ago some latest Aussie mail came in & it was dated up till 19th Nov which means it only took a month to get here & that is pretty good.

Have not seen Alan Sherwood for quite a long time. Don’t even know if he  is still with 450 Squadron. I must ask some of the boys in 450 if he is still there.

You said you hoped the mud & snow etc had cleared up, well, the wet season doesn’t start for a few weeks yet, so Lord only knows what it will be like then. The road to the ‘drome from the main road is just soft mud &, if it wasn’t for the fact that the trucks have 4 wheel drive & skid chains I’m afraid that we would be here for quite a while but somehow they manage to get through OK.

No more now but will write again soon.

Much love to Dad, Bet & Leo,         Lovingly Yours     Frank
