John William Graham letters, January-February 1945

1945-01-21 John W. Graham to Mr. & Mrs. W.J. Graham Page 2

no harm and I certainly hope I'll never need any of the knowledge put out.
Have a new winter issue, kind of a hood which fastens on our field jackets.  Most everyone looks like the Seven Dwarves when they wear them but I haven't found it cold enough to put mine on in fact I haven't worn my new field jacket as yet.  Always wear my sheepskin jacket to work in as the other is allowed in place of a blouse in case I ever take a pass mine till be clean.
Just finished shaving, shampoo & a good hot bath, that half barrel bath tub has certainly been a luxury.  Now that we have the showers completed our tent still hangs on to our tub.  I went over to try the shower one night, undressed and got under the spray only to find there was no water and it made me so mad I haven't gone back since.
When are Rhudes going to move or have they made any change in their plans now.  Walt certainly has two fine house keepers.  I surely do feel sorry for them but know they will manage very nicely.
Have a few more pictures I'll send some day soon.  Special service took some a few days ago and got one of me, it surely isn't very pretty so I guess it must be a good likeness.
Love
Johnny
