Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home
4 December 1942 Campo 57, Italy
My Darling Jean,
We here had a week's rain but it is very warm and better than wind off the snow. We only have to go out on parade for a few minutes twice a day so keep dry. We have a euchre tournament going in the hut and have been filling in the days - 21 couples are playing. Sometimes the days drag. The lights go out at 9PM - it is dark at 5PM and not light till nearly 9:45 in the mornings. The sleeping hours are thus very full.
