* The date written on the message says simply “June 1943,” but it was probably written on the 4th or 5th of June. In a later letter (June 4, 1945) he says that he arrived in Brisbane on June 4, 1943. He begins by saying it’s his first letter in “almost a month,” the previous letter being May 6th. And his June 7 letter refers to this one. |
