I've just sent in a fourth application to be tranferred from my [illegible] unsatisfactory position to an English. Better at the Front, Officer C react to my blooming [illegible] they like. If nothing come of that, I shan't worry any more. I'm absolutely fed up to the back teeth with everything. The last 3 years have been absolutely wicked. In fact, I've [illegible]. If I'm in hell then why the hell don't they say so , of course we not - I really think the first Europe I meet, I'll hit him in the jaw.. That'll create a diversion & break this wretched monotony.
