John nodded before removing his hand "yeah she will be pissed but hopefully she will understand. Atleast it's not a posting like India was. Most of us were shocked when we got the letter to say we were going over there for the duration. The regiments still out there. Rumour has it they are going to Ireland next. Honestly didn't think I'd get another chance to go back overseas. I thought the recruitment depot would be see me staring at the stone built barrack walls from now until I leave" John lent over the table and removed the first letter revealing the second one below it "you will both be shocked at the second letter though"
