Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home

14 June 1943 Campo 57, Italy

14 June 1943 Campo 57, Italy

My Dear Mum & Dad,

Many have gone out farming from this camp but I'm still here. Our hut now contains a great variety - besides Australians and Kiwis, we have a Dane, Slav, Greek, South African and Serbs and Canadian. Plenty of books, cards and cricket fill our days. News brought in by a new airmail seems good and we are hopeful that this damned war may finish by Xmas. But we know so few facts - can only wait and hope.
