Corporal Parkinson Diary (April 1943)

Just got a letter from home. Uncle Ralph bought it. U Boat got him on one of those damned oil tankers, in some convoy fight somewhere in the middle of the ocean. Bastards never tell you what really happened. Mom in tears. Dont' blame her. Ralph was a great guy. She is still pissed at him for going back to sea, old as he is. Merchant Marine needs everyone they can get I guess. What the hell is wrong with the navy. Why can't they get on top of these Krauts? This just goes on and on.

Aldershot, 2 April 1943
