1413254 LAC W T Lyons (Trevor) to Alec care of 326 Ampthill Road, Bedford. Left Hornchurch, crossed Tilbury - Ostend and spent Friday at Blankenburghe. Agree with you it's a good place. Got almost merry on Naafi beer before lunch at the 21 Club and in the evening a pal and I made the acquaintance of two girls on holiday from Brussels. 128 Company include mechanics John Whiteley, Fred Cooper, Frank Cooper, Wally Sutcliffe. Terrific run right down the Rhone Valley. Through Lyon valence and Avignon to Marseilles. Then on through Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, San Remo to Genoa. Then to Rome where they wanted to stay but were told to push on which they did - to 25 miles North of Naples - where he still is 9 days later, so cheesed off. Going to Ischia. We've heard it's a rest centre for Women's Services!
