Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

It sounds like Ida's wartime service Air Raid Precaution patrols are getting harder. Geoffrey sympathises with his work on the Auxiliary Fire Service, "not content with calling me to real activity in Burnage for the first time on Tuesday, the same thing would happen in Ashton the following night."
He anticipates "a bumper order tomorrow" for tickets to Coventry so is writing them out in advance for "the Northern Aircraft at Ashton where there are several ex-Coventry men." Possibly the demand for Coventry is due to the blitz bombing of the city in November 1940 - maybe people stationed elsewhere need to return to their families?
