In December, 1939, the First Division of the Canadian Active Service Force sailed into the Atlantic fogs, bound for England. With them went the good wishes and the anxious thoughts of a nation. How would they be received? Would they have comfortable quarters? What yarns would they spin to their English comrades? What would they think of a blacked-out London? How much leisure would they get? These and many other questions were answered in this intimate "letter home" from the men serving overseas.
