A letter, from Wallace to his father, dated April 16, 1945. First of 3 pages.

B.L.A.<P>
Dear Dad:<P>
Well - I guess by this time you are wondering where I have been. We got over okay, no mishaps etc. Just in time to move, talk about army life, this is just like it, quite a contrast to what we have been used to, but it is okay and it could be worse. I did my first trip yesterday and I sure was twitchy to start, but once I got going it was okay."

'Did I tell you I managed to get to London and meet the A.T.S. girl, Des is her name, the one I knew before anyway Mel and I went in and met Des and her girl-friend at the station, and we tore off to a show, and went to the Quality Inn and we had a real good meal. All in all it was quite nice, except she still wants to get married, what a woman! Fancy me marrying a gal about 3 or 4 years my senior age!'

¿The fellows on the squadron all seem to be pretty good heads. Incidentally we are called the ¿Wolf¿ sqdn. Our slogan is ¿Stalk and Strike¿ All right aye? If Jerry does catch up with me I¿ve fixed it so you will be notified. Now Dad seeing as how my social activities are nil, I guess you are up to date, so be good and take care of yourself. Regards to the Reids and Wally Cupem.
your loving son,

CIMETIÈRE DE GUERRE DE HANOVRE Allemagne
On se rend au cimetière militaire de Hanovre, qui jouxte le cimetière de guerre de Hanovre, en empruntant l'autoroute A2 E30 qui va de Dortmund à Berlin. À l'intersection avec la B441, tournez à droite sur la B441 et suivez les panneaux indiquant Hanovre, Ahlem et Seelze. Après avoir fait 7 kilomètres, tournez à droite sur la Seelzestrasse en direction de Harenburg. Après avoir fait 5 kilomètres et être entré dans Harenburg, tournez à gauche sur la Harenberger Miele. Au sortir de Harenburg, vous vous dirigerez vers Hanovre. Le cimetière militaire et le cimetière de guerre de Hanovre se trouvent à 3 kilomètres.
