Ormeside (#12051),
Arf a mo ! How come the BFTS at Terrill were paying you $25 a fortnight (rate of $650 pa in '43), while only the year before we Arnold Boys had to make do with $365 pa (no, it wasn't a Leap Year.).
Suppose you needed the extra cash to cut a swathe through the gentle maidens of Terrill, while the USAAC were always in some God-forsaken spot out in the sticks, and starved of feminine companionship.
One Law for the Rich !
