Darling,<\/p>\n

Am sitting down somewhere on this bloody island supposedly watching a game of Australian Rules football which is being played between some lads from the squadron I\u2019m with & some naval ratings off a ship which came in a couple of days ago.\u00a0 I\u2019m sitting on the back seat of a jeep and it\u2019s raining.\u00a0 I am bored to the point of not being able to breathe.\u00a0 I can\u2019t go back to the camp as I don\u2019t know where it is.\u00a0 I must wait till the dreary finish for I\u2019m damned if I know what the blooming game is all about \u2013 just seems to be an aimless scramble to me.<\/p>\n

A movie a night is a standard diversion. Airmen ignore tropical showers, sweeping searchlights, roar of planes. When full moon shines they can see nothing on the screen, but they sit and listen, anyway – Australian Women’s Weekly, 21 Apr 1945, p8<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have had lots of rain since we arrived on the island \u2013 it comes & finishes as a snap of the fingers.\u00a0 We all sat through the movies & the deluge last night \u2013 huddled in ground sheets and gas capes while planes & search lights sliced the sky.\u00a0 I was conscious of the fact that the war is indeed not far away.\u00a0 The pilots we are stationed with are off on a bash to a Jap area in the morning \u2013 quite a do so far as I can gather.<\/p>\n

Am almost off to sleep \u2013 so will snooze the game out.\u00a0 Will manage a little more letter tonight if I have the strength.<\/p>\n

-After tea<\/p>\n

Am alone for a while.<\/p>\n

Friday 7:30 am [26 Jan 1945]<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t for long.\u00a0 Interrupted so went off to tea.\u00a0 After the meal was invited down to have a pot of beer with a bunch of pilots on the other side of the Alley.\u00a0 It was beer issue day \u2013 the boys here get 2 doz. bottles of American beer a month.\u00a0 The bottles hold only 2 glasses and the beer is very light \u2013 about 3% alcohol I should say.\u00a0 Very pleasant never the less.\u00a0 Stayed wagging till about 12pm.\u00a0 Eddie [Dunstan] went on the do at 6am the next morning and was back at 10am.\u00a0 Apparently the raid was very successful and with no damage to the Beaufighters.\u00a0 Eddie got a story out of it, but Jack [Hickson] and I saw no sense in sticking our neck out for the sake of mere curiosity as it is almost impossible to get any sort of vision from the Beaufighter.\u00a0 You can only crane your neck over the pilot\u2019s head if you want to see anything at all.\u00a0 Spent another day down on the strip \u2013 and have just about had this island now.\u00a0 There is very little stuff which one could call exclusive to this place.\u00a0 I intend to leave the boys & come home early \u2013 within a fortnight I should say.\u00a0 Conditions for doing a completed job are very nigh impossible.<\/p>\n

Have been thinking quite a lot of you and the beautiful Bub.\u00a0 Hope he is well & has a full set of tats by the time I get home.\u00a0 How are you keeping yourself?\u00a0 Eat hearty & don\u2019t leave our little man out on the street corner too often.\u00a0 Lot of love dear.\u00a0 I do hope Mum [Mary Jane Graham nee Wray] is alright.<\/p>\n

Love from your ratty husband.<\/p>\n

[Jess’s father, George Alexander Graham passed away on 14 January 1945. He was buried 16 January, the day Wep left Sydney.]<\/em><\/p>\n
