From Captain J. A. Crow R.E. 12th Field Squadron RE, British Forces Post
Office 36. Temporary Address, The Short Strand - Dear Mrs. Duke, I am
writing to you on behalf of the Officer Commanding and All Ranks of 12 (Nova
Scotia) Field Squadron Royal Engineers for your kindness in sending us cakes
with such regularity. Whilst we are all as soldiers used to being away from
home and loved ones, your kind gifts have managed to bring a touch of
homeliness to our life here in the Bus Depot. I can't in all honesty
say that any of us have enjoyed serving in N. Ireland during the present
troubles, but I can say that we have made many friends and feel proud to
count you amongst them. In closing I would like to say that I hope and
pray that the troubles will soon end, and N. Ireland will once again become
a pleasant, peaceful place to live. Yours faithfully John Crow |
