My Dear Mother & Father,
A few lines in reply to Dad's letter of 10th Sept which I received yesterday. Very pleased to know all is well at home. Jim & I are in excellent health and good spirits. Today is a very wet, cold Sunday, but we manage to keep warm.
Les Knowles made two or three night visits last week, but was very quiet about it. Rugby & Football is in full swing at the moment, but will soon be stopped by the snow.
Best love to you both & Dot.
Arthur
On this day:
On the Western Front... On Beveland, the Canadian 2nd Division
reaches Goes in the ongoing battle for the Scheldt by Canadian 1st
Army. Inland, Breda falls to the Polish 1st Armored
Division.
In the Philippines... On Leyte, elements of US 24th
Corps capture Abuyag, south of Dulag, while Catmon Hill is cleared and
the advance to Dagami continues. At sea, carrier groups under the
command of Admiral Davison and Admiral Bogan conduct air strikes. In two
days, they destroy almost 100 Japanese planes for a loss of 15 American
aircraft. The carrier USS
Intrepid is damaged by a Kamikaze attack.
