I decided to show another WW2 Ike out of my collection. This is a rather nice and rare piece of history. This fellow was in The short lived Far East Air Force stationed in the Philippines. It’s inception was November of 41 Luzon, and was basically destroyed by the Japanese invasion of the Philippines December 41. February of 42 it became tha 5th AF.

This fellow was a seargeant probably in the 803d Engineering Battalion, Aviation by his cyphers. One of the lucky chaps to have been evacuated! As you can see he was transferred to the 8th AF European theater of operations.

Well, it pains me to say this but I am not a well man.

2 months ago I noticed a dramatic loss of weight, loss of appetite, sudden night sweats and general lethargy. Cut a long story short, I was admitted to hospital 5 days ago and they suspect liver cancer. Exactly what type they won’t know until the biopsy results are in by Tuesday/Wednesday. Scans show some worrying infiltrations so this is definitely bad, we just don’t know what kind of bad.

I had an iron transfusion this morning hence my energy to post this message.

How long this journey will be I don’t know but I am likely to be absent for awhile.

I’m in a good hospital with the best of care so should be feeling confident but the ‘C’ word is still a scary thing.

The WRF members club is a tight community so I feel comfortable in sharing with you guys.

So long for now, take care.

Glenn

I’ve been after one of these envelopes for a very long time…and although my Badge is Walpach-Produced, this will do fine for display…- Luckily, I also know where these were salvaged and by whom- just to head off the -by now expected- remarks from the Non-Collecting yet Omniscient…:rolleyes:
cheers, Glenn
