“Father” Of Unit

L/Ac. William Breedon, of 34, Doncaster Road, Mexborough, served during the last war with the Army, and has served since the be ginning of the present war with the R.A.F.

For fourteen months he has been stationed in the Middle East and at 43 he is the “father” of his unit. He has sent a snap to his wife of himself, Mexborough lad called Glover, whose father he says is at Mexborough Waterworks, and a Sheffield lad, all members of the same unit. They are well and in the best of spirits.
