lso, who are now in the 13th Brigade, is going home, but
there are only a few of them to go to U.K. The 20th M.G.S. is to be
disbanded, and the personnel to go to the 19th Squadron. We got
orders yesterday to wind up the '20th' and send the personnel to
the '19th' and I have to report to the 10th Cav. Bde. at Homs. What
for I don't know yet. One consolation, all the men but five are now
eligible for U.K.!! Well, well, it can't be helped, and perhaps it
is as well we were broken up now as the men will perhaps be home by
Xmas if the Strike is over.

"Hope you are enjoying 'Civvy' life.
