Submitted by billagee on Tue, 2019-09-17 09:53Book / Document:Date(s) of events described:Mon, 15 Feb 1943I haven't written for a week but have been very busy with lots of things. The election for the Camp Council was today and I topped the poll with 169 votes. Terry 131, Ian Fleming 129, a man Barker 111 and Miss Ward (Matron of Nethersole) 96. I'll write more fully again. My back is sore a little again tonight. B
((I don't see an Ian Fleming in camp, so maybe this refers to John Fleming? The only Mr Barker I see on the Stanley list is Walter Daniel Barker.))
