to go back again on Tuesday.
Saturday July 10th - London.
Left Bradford at 9 am. Uncle
Arthur came in with me. He
would insist on my taking
a couple pounds, although
I said I would be able
to draw some money at our
London office. Arrived at
Manchester about 11 am.
and went out to the hospital
at Stretford to see them all
again. As I got off
the car I met Miss Vaughan,
who asked me to run round
and say goodbye to them
after dinner. When I
reached the hospital I found
that all the Australians and
New Zealanders, with one
exception, had been transferred
to Harefield, the Australian
hospital near London. The
nurses insisted on my staying
to dinner, so I did. Afterwards
I went round to Brunswick
Street to say goodbye to Miss
Vaughan and her mother, who
had been very good to me
during my stay in Stretford.
Miss Vaughan had to go into
the station to meet her boy,
who was coming up from
Grantham for week end
furlough, so I went in with
her, and as his train came
in a few minutes after mine
she was able to see me off
first. I arrived in London
(Euston) about 8.10 pm. and
took a taxi to the Union Jack
Club, opposite Waterloo Station
