There^is another squadron in this field, bat they have aboat com-j pleted training and will probably smoon leave ns, then there will be only the Britishers left, who are our instructors. They are a very itice lot, and I look forward to ree months of real pleasare while we are here. We are justabout two miles from a fairly large town, and whenever we are off duty we can go in for severalhours.Our luxuries are few, especially sweets.
