Page 6: Letter to mother. Mail. Kassman’s Palestine leave isn’t happening; he’s moved to [possibly the Western Desert – words censored], though they are still “hundreds of miles from the war, and look like having an even duller time than during the past few months.” Description of bivouac construction and furnishings (primarily made out of petrol cans). Some details of path taken to current location (past censored location and El Alamein).
