Cottage, Drains Bay, Larne, Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland - 225 PC 13
40 ACG 3 Nov. 43 Dear Davie, My heartiest congratulations to you on
getting your eighth bar! Also, I trust you will convey my respects and
similar felicitations to Margaret for running you so close. Maybe you will
also, if the opportunity occurs, congratulate the clubbers for me, by virtue
of their various lesser successes. I hope you are enjoying life and keeping
alive a hen or two for peace celebrations! I wonder how J.P.P. and the rest
are? I have no news. Some say there's a war on. This may be more than mere
rumour, who knows! I wish I were coming to that "do" which the L.S.C.
members will be having! However - "other suns will surely follow." Cheerio!
Good luck! Andy McDowall. Ps: It's nearly twenty years since I first joined
the Club. Remember J. K. Greenlees, Marshall Whiteside, Sam McMeekin, Jim
Conlan, Norman Rae, Mr. Boyd! Happy days! I can scarcely manage a bath
nowadays!

you were after forgetting about sending them, And I'm still waiting for a
few more of the Cows. Marg you say its weeks since you had any word from me,
Marg there must be a few letters astray because I've answered all yours
letters. Marg did you have any letters from Mother, becaus according to her
last letter she said she wrote, you should have received them by this. Oh
yes I had a Christmas card from Ruby also. Received yours in which I thank
you all, Marg. Jim glad your brother had a safe journey, hoping he will be
home for Christmas and Jim, sure he will enjoy himself as much as I did

Cottage, Drain's Bay, Larne, N. Ireland from Phil Aylward c/o Mrs. Ed
Fleming, 391 2nd St., Brooklyn, New York - Dear Marg, Just a few lines to
let you know I am well and having a swell time, hoping to find you, Davey &
Mother the same. Marg I guess you were expecting a christmas card from me,
be we sailed? on a surprise to everybody. So I am hoping to be excused. Marg
I am expecting this letter will take quite a while to go, but I will send it
by Air and it shouldn't take so long, I hope. I guess you were wondering who
this letter came from but as you know we get around. I was trying for Leave
home, but could not get transport, so as far as Leave goes it's all off.
Well how is things in Ireland, have you met any of my friends since I left,
or is it to cold on the shore road now? Oh yes did you have any letters from
my mother since I left, because I know she wrote you. She is always talking
of how she would like to go to Ireland, but she should have thought of that
20 years ago. Guess if you had any news from mother, she was telling you
about my sister joining up, well I hope she will like this life. Marg I have
seen quite a few of my people since I came to U.S.A. and they are all fine
and are giving me a swell time. Marg I guess you are wondering why I have
not put my address on the top of this letter, but I am going to put it in
c/o of my Aunt, it will probly reach me quicker. Time is getting on so I
will bring this letter to a close, hoping to hear from you soon. Cheerio
Love & Kisses to you Davey & Mother, from Phil

Leave soon I'll go nuts so help me, becaus I don't know how my chicken are
getting on since I left. - Ha Ha. Marg, its some change when you leave the
states and come back to this Country, if you go ashore for big eats, they
give you a cup of tea and a slice of toast, but I guess its the best the can
do, if you go into a Restaurant in the states they will give you anything
you ask for, you couldn't cl?, that there's a war on there, plenty of Beer
and Wisky but as you know I don't drink Ha Ha. Well Marg, this letter is
going to be a short one, becaus its just about time for dinner & I got the
afternoon watch. So I will close this letter, hoping to hear from you soon.

I guess you have read all about the tropitz?, we were there and every thing
came off quite, only its was terrible cold. Much colder than the Shores of
Drain's Bay. Marg we were expecting Leave, but I think its all off now,
better luck next time, how is Davey getting on with his work, I guess he is
quite busy now trying to get all the Crops in, wish I could get some leave
to help him, remember me to Mother, and tell her not to work to hard. I went
ashore a few nights ago, and went to a dance there was also a friend with
me, we always go together, both us enjoyed our selves very much. I was after
telling him about the time I use to have on leave, and about the time I use
to have when I would go to a dance and he is all for it, and wants to come
on Leave with me, but its all up to you Marg, if you think you can make room
for two of us. I would be really thankful, and will bring him along with me.

Davey I guess your going to have company, because I'm going to bring my pal
along with me when I get leave, and believe me he is all for it, he always
did like working on a farm so I reckon we will have to find plenty for him
to do, I was asking him if he knew how to make a hay stack, so he said yes,
and if we can get leave during hay making time, us three I think can manage
the lot so stand by with plenty hay forks. Davey I had a letter from Marg,
she was telling me you had the spuds in, well I'm glad of that becaus if I
get leave now, I will have the time of my life, probly will be able to ride
around on the bike all day. Ha Ha. Davey we had a few good photos taking the
last time we were at Sea. I will send them the next chance I get. Davey I'm
trying to write this letter sitting on the bunk, and a few of the boys, one
here, pulling my boots off throwing tobacco cans around and God knows what,
I'm just getting fed up. I got a good boot, by my side now, the first one
who comes handy is getting it. Davey I will bring this letter to a close,
hoping to hear from you soon. Cheerio Love & Kisses to you, Marg & Mother

forgotten all about you and all in Drains Bay but NO, I can never forget the
good times I had while I was in Drains Bay, and all you done for me, the
only way I can pay you back is for you & Davey to come to N.7.7. or F.F.?

weather like in D.B., still plenty of rain I guess, the weather is good down
this way, just like Summer only the wather is little to cold for swimming.

Command Pay Detachment R.C.A.P.C. Cdn. Army O'seas. On Active Service
Dear Margaret, Your very welcome letter came yesterday, I was just about to
write and warn you that I'm coming, I should get to Larne on Saturday the
20th, one week from this coming Sat. Frankly, this transport to Canada is
really messed up, however it goes on slowly, though right now most of the
ships have been sent to the East to pick up P.O.W.'s there. We'll get them
back maybe in December, and so I think I'll get home in March, that won't be
too bad. In the meantime my former unit, the Base Workshop, has disbanded
and I am now attached to the Pay Corps, it's a pretty good go, this new
post. There are only 30 of us in the unit, and we have really no army
routine at all. The work is fairly interesting, its auditing payrolls, and
at least keeps us busy all day. We are quartered in a requisitioned house, a
huge place, and mostly we sleep two to a bedroom. Our meals are served to
us, no more queueing up and waiting, all in all it's a nice way to spend the
next few months. Uncle Alf's accident was really a blow, but all the
news from Dorothy about his condition is good, he seems to be making a
remarkable recovery. He's a really fine man, made a point of finding me when
our train passed through Montreal to say Hello, I surely hope he recovers
soon. How is the soap situation? I'll bring along a couple of bars of Lux
that I've picked up, and I have just one packet of cheese, no parcels
lately. But I'll be over soon. My regards to your mother and Dave. Sincerely
Ted.

9th July 1957 Postmark Montreal, Canada to Mrs. David Hilton, Britannia
Cottage, Drains Bay, Larne, Co. Antrim, North Ireland from ? Wylie, 6201
Sherbrooke Street West, Apt. No. 509, Montreal 28, P.Q. Canada - Decr. 9/57
Dear Margaret, You will be wondering why you have not heard from me lately,
especially after I mailed food parcel of Novr. 20th. The chief reason is an
attack of flu and the after effects. So I am about two weeks behind in all
my overseas mailing of letters & cards. I managed to get a few cards off by
regular mail so yours should reach you before Christmas. Cards for the
children are in a separate envelope but mailed same time as yours. Don't
tell children what, I'm going to wink now, as I want them to get surprise
when their parcels arrive. I had Christmas gifts for the children but flu
delayed these too, so am afraid they won't reach them until New Year
although mailed Decr. 6th. In the large flat parcel there is a Table Mat Set
for John to paint. He seems to like using crayons & colours, so can try his
hand with paints & brush. If he thinks the job is "too sissy" for him you
can use the mats without being painted. In same box there is a "Look & Learn
Lotto game" for Ann. Its an "Aid-to-reading game," with pictures, letters &
words, for children ages 5 to 9 & as two to six children can play at one
time I thought Ann might get some fun with it & maybe help her in spelling
(if she needs any help). Although Matt is not quite five yet, he too van
join in the game as he will recognise a lot of the pictures & know them by
name & maybe teach him spelling. When Ann gets the game, I would suggest
that you or Davy read the instructions and when you cut up or break off the
small pieces at the perforations there should be 48 small pieces with one
picture on each, and 6 large pieces with 8 pictures on each. You & Davy
start the three children by playing a few games, with them & they will soon
catch on to it. In the same box there is a Roll Wave Hair Brush & Comb (one
Auntie Lilian had) which I thought you or Ann might be able to use as you
both have natural wavy hair. I hope the brush doesn't get damaged in
transit. The Every Woman's Magazine will give you an idea of the crazy life
some people live in the States. Now for Master Matt!! I thought at his age
he might like a toy, so the other parcel contains an All-Metal, "Greyhound"
Bus, Modelled something like the Express busses one sees on this Continent
for long trips. There is some sort of mechanism inside the rear end of the
bus that drives the bus by friction. So you or Davy can show Matt how to
make it run by taking hold of the bus with one hand & giving it a quick
forward jerk or two with all wheels on the floor (especially the two rear
wheels) & then releasing it quickly it will travel straight along the floor.
The distance it travels depends on how much of a start you give it. I think
if it runs 10 or 12 feet on a linoleum covered floor or bare wood floor that
may be the limit. Davy, no doubt, knows how to explain Friction Drive. No
instructions came with bus so had to get information from sales clerk. As I
couldn't get a suitable box for packing bus I had to join two small ones, so
you will have to be very careful in opening this package as the brown
coloured carton lifts off the other carton. There were no dents in the bus
and I hope it arrives in good condition. Montreal Stores are loaded with
merchandise from many parts of the globe, so don't think anything of it
because bus was made in Japan. I'm all for Canadian & British goods when I
can get what I want. I'm sorry to have dwelt so long on details about game &
bus but hope that what I've said will be helpful. Both parcels were put in
the Post Office at same time so trust they will be delivered to you in same
post. Do wish they could have them while on their holidays. I was so glad to
know that drapes fitted John's window & that you liked them. It's a pleasure
to me to know they are giving you & John some enjoyment instead of lying in
my cupboard. I enclose the mate of the first towel in parcel of Nov. 20th. I
couldn't get another packet of Del-Monte Apricots so had to send Golden Glow
brand which you have had on some other occasions. That was a good idea of
yours using the packet of Del M Apricots with the apple juice. Hoping this
will find you all well. Love Uncle, I have scarves, socks, hankys & all the
other things to wear, so please don't send me anything, except usual
calendar.

3) George Noble, Photographer, Banff, Canada - My Dear Alice, I received
your letter some time ago, and will answer it when I get back. I have had
quite a busy time lately, and I had planned not to go away this year, but
felt I needed a holiday. You couldn't wish for a nicer place to spend a
holiday. I just wish you could spend your holidays here this year, perhaps I
may see you next year, but I am not building on it very much. There is some
talk of cheaper fares next year, but that may be a hoax. Where are you going
this year. Remember me to all my friends, will write you a long letter
later. Love Isa
4) Hello Tom, How would you like a swim here. This is the cold pool, but I
like the sulphur pool best. We usually spend about 2 to 3 hrs. up here every
day. This is a very pretty place. It is such a change after the prairie.
Mrs. Bell and Eileen are gone to Vancouver for two months but that was too
expensive a trip for me this year. I may manage that next year. It costs an
awful lot to take a holiday in this country, my trip to Banff will cost me
from $100 to $150 so you will see if I continue to spend any holidays here
it is going to be a very long time before I can take a trip to the Old
Country, Banff is only about third way to the Coast. Yours as ever Isa. I
will soon be a professional swimmer.
5) Dear Annie, How is the nurse, and how do you like it. I just wish you
could spend your vacation here. I believe I would be content to come here
every year. My Girl-friends' people have a summer home here and they have
come here for the last fifteen years. I am staying with them and it is just
like home. We have been one minute in the house except for meals and bed
time. The weather is always lovely here, just a few light showers. Had some
soap? taken will send some to Alice. Intend writing you one of these days,
love from Isa
