1937 - 19th December 1937 H.M.S. Woolwich Malta - My darling
Mammy, A line or two to wish you a very very happy Christmas & a wonderful
New Year. I'm going to send this to Eastbourne, because I don't think you'll
get it in time otherwise, & even now it may be a little bit late. Give my
love to all the various Eastbourne folks, & wish them well. I've had one or
two cards so far - one from Michael, Dave, the late No. 1 of the
Douglas & Rupert, Rupert got married yesterday afternoon & Molly?, Wiffle?,
Sally & Marcey & Reg? went but Farmer & I had days on & Hughie didn't have a
cocked hat. I gather they enjoyed it very much - Rupert is sailing for China
on the 29th, so I must try & see him before he goes, as I haven't met his
wife yet - she only came out the other day. Mrs.? Rotherham? sailed for
England last night & Mrs. Pi?ey had a baby girl earlier in the week. On
Tuesday forenoon, I was passing out some seamen in a sailing exam, & we were
all going to have supper with Moley? & Sally, but the latter was inoculated
& not feeling so good, so we didn't go, & W. & I went to the pictures
instead. Wednesday we played rugger against the ?, but lost 8-11 - there was
a most unpleasant wind blowing. In the evening I went & had supper with ?,
after going to a cocktail party at the Sutcliffe's. On Thursday I went
to a cocktail party in the ? & then went to the Club for supper with Joan
Prid; Elizabeth P. is engaged to Henry Norman? On Friday I was going to play
tennis with a Sualtie? called Norwood? & a couple of girls, but it was
raining so we went to tea with one of them instead. She stayed at the same
hotel as Ra? at ? I had a letter & some correspondence from Bas
earlier in the week & a note from Clive & Jeannie enclosed with a tie-clip &
a non-?alling back stud. Jeannie said she had heard that Doreen R. was
getting married - have you heard anything? I haven't any more news now so
I'll finish. Again a very Happy Christmas to you all & the best of
everything in 1938. Your loving son Maurice. Kindest regards to
Grandpa P. & Grandma P.
     
1941 - 30th July 1941 138 2943 L.A.C. King, c/o Officers Mess, R.A.F.,
Montrose, Angus - My Darling Nan, For months past I've been trying to get a
chance to write to you but never found time - and now that I've started I
don't know that I've time for very much and really there's not a lot I can
tell you with Mr. C. Ensor looking over my shoulder! First of all, I
was so sorry to hear that poor old Maurice? had been having a bad time of
it, what rotten luck, but I can quite understand it after hearing of all the
good work you have both being putting in, I expect he tried to do too much.
You've probably heard news of me through mother, and how I've dashed about
all over England from one end to the other for my various training and now
I've come to rest in this 'Bonnie' land, the only trouble being its a damned
long way from London town - and don't I know for I drove the whole way in a
day last week. You see I was suddenly recalled from leave but didn't get
wire until we got home in the evening, so spent most evening furiously
packing and ringing up friends cancelling invitations to dinners, drinks
etc. I took Elizabeth as far as Leeds leaving London at 5 am. Breakfast in
Leeds, high tea in Glasgow with Jean and then on here, altogether 540 miles
in a little over 12 hours driving!! (Work the average out Maurice) mad
I may be but it had to be done. This is practically the last stage of my
training and all being well in a couple of months time I'll no longer be
singing that now famous song "If I only had WINGS!! If either of your
lads want to join the R.A.F. NEVER stop them, it's the grandest life and the
grandest crowd of lads you'll meet any where. I've loved it all, though some
times I felt heartily sick of being so long getting on with the job, but
really its marvellous and I feel years younger. And oh Boy! When you first
go 'solo' what a day!! The only catch in this business is I miss my own home
like the devil, though I must say up to now I got a fair amount of leave and
saw Brenda fairly regularly. But this time its a longer break and I get no
leave. She however is getting a fortnight in Sept. and hopes to come here
for part of it. The only trouble is I'll work all day long so it might be
dull for her. Still she needs a holiday badly and it would be a complete
change for her up here. Do you know about 3 months ago we had out first
holiday together since we were married - so you can guess what we think
about Adolf. I had hoped to see Malcolm Speir on my way through Glasgow but
rushing through as I did I never had a chance, however I must write to the
old boy and might even persuade him to come over here on one of his trips.
I hope your flock of children are all well, do write to me soon if you have
the time and let me have your news, I can see letters are going to be the
job of my life here so add to it if you can. Henry Croan?-Johnson who
is Welfare Officer at the War Office now told a nice story at a party of
ours the other night in Town, the real joy of it being that it's true.
There's an association for dependents of serving troops called, the Navy
Army and Airman's Dependents Welfare Association, who offer free advice and
assistance on all matters. They had a letter from a girl the other day which
read somehow like this "Dear Madam, I have been walking out for the past 3
weeks with a married soldier - but have kept my virtue!! However last week
was my birthday and he gave me a gold watch, so I obliged him. He now wants
the gold watch back again. What am I to do now??" Very nice I thought.
And then there's :- There was a young lady of Exeter, Who wondered why all
the men craned their necks at her, Till one insolent knave was so bold as to
wave, His distinguishing organ of sex at her! I think that had better be all
for now, don't you? With lots of love to you both and hoping that Maurice is
keeping fit now. Neville

Brenda From Douglas-Hamilton Ta Kali Malta, 9th July 1942 ~ My dear
Brenda, I hope you will get this letter as soon as it is being brought back
by one of my Flight Commanders (Sandy or F/Lt. Sanders), in same Flight
Neville was. I trust you will have received the Air Ministry Telegram
to say that Neville was missing as from yesterday. This letter is to try &
express in words how deeply we all feel for you in your terrible loss. I
know how futile words are at these times, but we are all thinking & feeling
for you, Brenda, all the time. It is a terrible loss to us all and to
me personally in particular as Neville was such a grand person and was doing
so well in the Squadron. He was so good to everybody, & well liked & he
would certainly have become a Flight Commander before long. He did very well
out here and almost certainly destroyed or helped to destroy 3 enemy
aircraft. Sandy was with him on his last flight and he can tell you
most about it. They were both up in a great battle and had just destroyed a
German fighter when Neville hit the sea. We searched for hours afterwards
but I am sorry to say found nothing. Sandy himself was badly shot up
afterwards. It grieves me greatly to have to give you all this news,
Brenda, but the consolation such as it is, is that Neville certainly did his
stuff out here & did a great job in the big battles we have had. I hope
Sandy will see you sometime, with very much love yours David
20th July 1942 Telephone Holywood 2139
Highlands, Holywood, Co. Down To Brenda From F/Lt. L. V. Sanders, 57
Valkyrie Road, Westcliff-on-Sea, Essex - Dear Mrs. King, I have just arrived
in this country from Malta and wish to convey to you my Sincerest Sympathy
in the loss of your husband, Neville. I think you might like to know
first hand a little of what happened. We were flying together at the time,
in fact we were always together, when flying over the island we were always
well outnumbered, and on this occasion the numbers were about four to one
against, we were just returning to our base after leaving one Hun going down
in smoke. That one we shared. We were then attacked by several other Huns
and I saw Neville hit the sea. It will be some slight consolation to you to
know that he could not have suffered at all. I was still pursued and was
shot down a short distance from Malta. I landed in the sea and was able to
get out. Neville and I were very good friends and apart from flying together
always spent out days off together. It is unnecessary for me to tell you how
popular he was in the Squadron, and for myself I count myself lucky to have
been his friend. I can only say I thought him a wizard type and I deeply
regret the loss of such a personal friend. Neville did well at Malta and you
have every reason to be terribly proud of him. Some time in the future the
true story of Malta may be told. When that day does come you will realise to
the full extent the outcome of such sacrifices that pilots such as Neville
have made. In your pride for Neville recall that it was a very hard
task that pilots were undertaking, and your husband fulfilled his own
individual part to the full. When Neville did not return it was a very sad
loss to the Squadron and a very personal loss to myself. Should you require
to know anything further and if you consider I should be of any assistance
to you I should be very happy to meet you any place in London when I am able
to arrange time off. Once again I offer you my sincerest sympathy in
your very tragic loss of a really fine "type" Yours very sincerely Sandy
Killed on Operations: The death on active service of S/Ldr. Lord David
Douglas-Hamilton was announced recently. He was the youngest brother of the
Duke of Hamilton, and a noted athlete and mountain climber. He married in
1938 Miss Prunella Stack, who is so well known as the leader of the Women's
League of Health and Beauty. This drawing is by Olive Snell.

momentary thrill. They met by chance, a swift sharp pain, Unnerves

Address: 12 Dixon Road, Bangor - Miss D. M. Maguire, "Glenbank Tower"
Bangor. Dear Miss Maguire, I have just received the Banksian Medal from the
R.H.S. London, who engraves your name on it, and have pleasure in sending it
to you. In your last letter to me you mentioned that you already had this
medal. This however was not the case, as the medal awarded at the summer
show was the "Home Gardener" bronze medal for the best dish of tomatoes. The
Banksian medal is the highest award in the show and goes to the exhibition
with the largest amount of prize money. Under our rules the winner is not
eligible for this award again until two years later. I thank you for your
offer of using the medal again for another exhibition at a later show. This
however is not necessary as the Banksian medal is presented and engraved by
the R.H.S. gratis for affiliated societies. I am very glad therefore, that
such a good supporter of our show as you has won the premier award for 1965
and hope that you will be able to continue exhibiting. Yours faithfully,
Alex. M. Davies, Hon. Show Secretary
