| - 2 - You will be interested to hear that on Wednesday afternoon we had a further visit from the enemy when he dropped two heavy bombs on the Axle shop, probably of over ½-ton each, neither of which exploded and were dealt with and removed by the Engineers. Very many thanks for all the kindness and hospitality shown to us on Tuesday. Yours sincerely, Signed... Henry Spurrier, Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
