George Beck: January 16, 1944
Wrote letter to wife but had to destroy it, too bad to send. Don’t know what is the matter with her lately; she’s got me worried. Latest news “1,200 planes over Berlin, refugees living not far from here, they had to leave in a hurry, some of them had to leave in their night things for they had to come straight from air raid shelters into the trains. Bed p.m.

George Beck: January 16, 1945
Said goodbye to some of the repatriated who left today for England. Sent message home with one of the lads who lives at Castleford. Hope ??? doesn’t call or he will frighten the wife.
