Part of Papers of John Anthony Crook

Repeats news that he has sent them in an airgraph in the hopes that air mail will be quicker. Announces that he has been in action. Assures them that he is safe and 'washing and cleaning up after a very dirty few days'. Reports that his band has been split up among the companies as stretcher bearers. Cannot mention his location. Apologises that he is 'not in the mood for writing' that afternoon.
