Dear Uncle Fred,
Well here I am in blue at last. I did not think it would be like this, you don’t get much time for yourself do you but I like it alright. I will write a letter to you all when I get half a chance so will you hold on a bit. I have 19 weeks here yet. Give my love to everyone. Love Bill.

I wonder what he thought it would be like? It sounds like it was a bit of a shock. I like the way he tried to reassure everyone at home though that he liked it alright 💗
