My dearest Lil,

No news only received another Australian mail in today but I had no luck, only one letter from Sydney. By the way miss Lyons told me she had written to you regarding my shots. I hope you sent them along my dear. I suppose you have read about the big air raids on London this week. I shall send you on the papers as you will then get a more detailed account. The Curiosity Shop is a wonderful place. I could have spent a heap of money there if I had only got it to spare at the time of my visit. We have a special parade tomorrow (but) as moving pictures are being taken of our brigade so expect you will see them someday in Sydney. Believe our Cape Town and Durban mail arrived so I hope you got my budget of 3 letter and 7 postcards. Love to all. Hope you are OK. Your loving brother Douglas.
