There are two letters written by Arthur Medland. The first is written to his Uncle, William P. White, the second is written to Douglas S.

His letter to Douglas is mostly likely written in 1943, given the time of the Tunisian Campaign and the active service of the HMCS Owen Sound, but it could be later. It is presumed that the letter to William is the same year, but again could be later.

Only two album pages contain captions: one is of nursing orderlies, the other of “one hot night in June 1942 on the back porch”.
