Title
Letter from George Stephen Dawson, Culver Battery, Sandown, Isle of Wight, to his Aunt Peggy [Alice Margaret Dawson].
Visited his family on his birthday at their hotel in the New Forest at Barton-on-Sea. Father [Henry Darlow] looked very fit but Pog [?Margaret Ethel Darlow] was a little tired. All very excited at the idea of John's [John Michael Darlow] return on leave. 'I am hoping that the he will come back before the Japanese situation alters the leave system, and that while he is here the war will end...but as his unit is part of the India Command, I don't think he will be so lucky.' [John Michael Darlow was killed in a flying accident on his way home on leave from India on 17 August 1945].
