My Darling Girl,

It is becoming very hot here now. I hope we are here for a while to come as this country is marvellous for fruit. Wild almonds, pears, plums, apricots and apples are growing round our tent. Soon we are to have a spell at Beirut at a rest camp and will have a fair amount of leave from there.

The NZEF Times prints Harry Taylor as having died a P.O.W. One thought they were safe and well there and was free of casualty lists for a while. You will see Harry's photo in many of the groups in the photos from Suva.
