We kept in touch from there on.

I went to visit cousins in Scotland and I phoned her mother. And when we did get back to England, to get out of the air force, I went to live with my wife’s brother and was back to normal life pretty well. She was in an organization called the Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Order of Nursing Sisters. And they had a hill station in India. And of course, all the white people go to the hill stations for the summer months there, to get away from the heat and dust of the country. So she was in this station, and when I got to Vashar and got into the hospital, she was in the hospital that I went to. So she was one of about, I think, half a dozen British nurses. As RAF people will tell you, they look whiter every minute. We kept in touch more or less from there on. So we eventually got back to England and we got married before we went back to Canada. She came back to Canada in January of 1946. First thing I did was buy her a pair of boots because she didn’t have any. They didn’t need them in England.
