John William Graham letters, May-July 1944

1944-07-19 M/Sgt. John W. Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

Had to attend chemical warfare school this morning it is one of those things like shots and hearing the Articles of War read, comes around every six months and everyone has to attend but no one gets much out of it just the same thing over again but then thats the army.
Just had to stop long enough to find one of the boys a hose clamp from my collection of junk which I sorted over a few days ago. I could almost build a plane from the stuff I have, dont know where it all came from, perhaps I'm like Johnnie Stahl and his watch repariing everytime he fixes two he has enough pieces left over to build one.
Theres a good show tonight, perhaps I'll go but Im kind of tired and two hours sleep would probably do me more good. Maybe after my bath I'll feel a little more perky tho. Ive only averaged five and six hours sleep a night for awhile now and thats not enough for me.
Must close for tonight
Love
Johnny
