Thursday night.
My darling -
It has been one big whirl ever since I left you on Wednesday morning. I was so sad to leave you sweetheart, but I am sure it will not be for very long. Either we shall come home - or else you will be able to come over here.
The journey was uneventful, but very busy & rather uncomfortable. You see, we had the baggage for the whole Battalion which amounts to 70-80 tons of stuff. This had to be loaded onto trucks etc at Croxteth, transferred to the train in Liverpool - onto the ship at Stranraer - onto another train at Larne - & then off again here.
We got to Stranraer at 6-30 - & the boat sailed at 8-30. It takes two hours across. It was 2-0 a.m. by the
p.
[top left corner missing] Larne & we got 6-20 on this
to find this place is right on the border of the Free State. I is quite pretty, & is really a small holiday place. There are any amount of pubs, which open at 10:00 a.m. & remain open all day. There is a Cinema - & there is the loch & also an open air pool to bathe in. And there is a Golf Club. So providing nothing happens we should be alright here.
I am just about falling to sleep now - so I will stop & write again at the week end.
Goodbye sweetest heart
All my love, kisses to you -
Harry.
