SOLDIER AND CIVILIAN
Sir,—lf C.J.C., one of the "lawi. breakers" at Westfield, really believe* he has a grievance because he worki* eight hours a day, and if he misses his bus has to walk home, perhaps he would like to change places with my husband. He gave up a £750 position on September 18, 1939, and went through the first Libyan campaign as a signaller with the Aussies, then on to Greece and Crete. Yet we have never heard a word of complaint from him. C.J.C.'s family is lucky to see hira even if it is 7 p.m. instead of ,6 p.m. My son has only seen his daddy eight days since September, 1939. My advice to him is to get on with the job and think now and again of the men who are making real sacrifices. Soldier's Wife.
