Airgraph No 28
30th May ‘44
Dear Mum,
It’s quite a while since your letters No 128 & airgraph No 28 arrived but ever since I wrote to you last, that was several weeks ago, we have had a terrific amount of work with this latest push that has been going on. We are very short of armourers & the crews have had to help with lifting the bombs & believe me that’s not easy work. The kites fly anytime between 4 o’clock in the morning & 9 o’clock at night.
The weather lately has been marvellous. The days have been extremely hot & we often have a swim while the kites are away. Our new camp site is in the middle of a big wheat field & a swift flowing river is about 150 yards from the tent.
I had a letter from Norm Dunne in the last mail also a photo of the wedding group. The bride seems to be quite a nice girl.
We have great hopes of being in Rome before this letter arrives in Aussie. There’s some talk of us getting leave to see it when it falls but whether we do or not remains to be seen. I’ll write you & tell you about it if we happen to get to see it.
No news that I’m able to write about so I close.
Much love to Dad, Bet, Leo & Jr
Lovingly Yours Frank
