Dear Bus,

Well Bus old boy, how goes the battle & when are you coming over to get us?? Ha Ha Things have change a bit since I wrote last. It seems Ack Ack comes under the air force over here, so we have been moved to an R.A.F. camp. They are thought a little more of than the army & treated a little better, so we are quite pleased to be with them as you can imagine. We are at a transit camp at present called (Dulay Luft) So put that on my letters instead of Stalag VIIIB. Then when we move on to a real camp I will let you know which one it is. We got here two day before Xmas, after a two day trip from th eother camp, so had quite a nice Xmas. I'm with here with Davis E.K.

Longway & Mr. MacFetrage. Slater, France Nattry went before us, so hope to all meet at the same camp. The rest will follow I hope. Glad so many boys got back. Hope you had a good Xmas & were able to get off. Hope to see you soon. Haven't had any more mail lately. All the best of luck.

Ernie
