August 27, 1941
In the last few years, I haven't had much time to write about my travels or send letters to my family. I don't know where most of my brothers are, but my mother sent me a letter reassuring me, that her, dad, and Reggie are well. I can't wait to see them again.
The last year I have been improving my fitness, and my stamina, as well as completing my naval training, then I got posted to various shore bases and small naval vessels. It was such an honour to complete my training and earn the title of Ordinary Seaman.
