A note from the Editors: Oliver is now at the Officers Pool Mess, waiting to be posted to a Squadron. Franked 5 AUG 17 O.A.S. Mrs Chas. E. Pearson, Hillcrest, Lowdham, Notts, England. No1AD Officers Pool Mess France Frid Aug 3 Dear Mother, I am writing because at the moment I do not have anything better to do and I am in a comfortable office. I am Relieving Orderly Officer which means I have to sit here & wait for a telephone bell to ring while the real Orderly Officer has his lunch. I hope to get mine but am uncertain. I haven't been posted yet as the weather being so vile there is no flying & therefore no one is killed or injured. The above weather is phenominal. It started with a most peculiar wind storm. From a flat calm & clear sky suddenly within 5 minutes arose a violent wind with racing black clouds & thunder & lightning of great violence which all lasted about half an hour & then passed off as it started leaving all serene
