I went home tonite & had dinner. Rosemary made me a very nice cake & I brought some back to the boys. Today was my birthday. Mary had a picture made of her for me & it was swell. It was a tinted miniature. I sure like it. I hope to carry it on me overseas. We are setting up our supply room now.

Today was quite a thing in our unit. Gene Harm and Lynch were up to go on a raid on Berlin, Ger. The weather was so bad that they had to turn and come back. I was up with them and saw Jean to the plane. They left at 7:30 and was back at 4:15. Gene and I went into town of Bury St. Edmond to celebrate my birthday. Couldn’t find anything but beer to drink so we took in the dance. I danced about three dances & then we cam back was in by 11:00.
