The Battery was equipped with 3" guns which were ineffective against high flying planes and dated from the WWI. It is interesting to note that admidst all the chaos of the Battle of France there was still hope that new 3.7" guns would arrive.

This is the first letter from Frank in over a month and it took the form of a standard issue "Field Service Postcard" where the writer deletes lines as appropriate to show the message. This postcard reads:

I am quite well.

Letter follows at first opportunity.

I have received no letter from you lately.
