Sir Wavell
I wonder if you are still on the Plain : your tour of duty with that armoured unit must be nearly over, or quite over. Perhaps this note will be sent on.
Many people noticed my rather noisy (and unnecessary) return from India. The Indian Government put it in the papers, to try & win grace in the eyes of Amanullah and the Soviets. I don’t think they won it! Hope not.
Now they have posted me here. We live on a spine of rocks, almost at sea-level, jutting out across Ply
Week-ends are after duty Saturday till midnight Sun
Yours
T.E.Shaw
If you reply, do tell me your decorations. Your name looks naked on my envelope.
