Yellow Fever.

West of London & angels,

As I recall, I had my yellow fever jab in late October '42, while at 9 P.R.C. , Blackpool. I think I had to go to Padgate to get it, so it may have been a New Thing then. Otherwise they'd have had the stocks of vaccine at Blackpool, for I think all the people going out East passed through there.

I think angels' Father came out after the '42 Retreat, but I stand to be corrected on that. It is quite possible that the "refugees" from Singapore and Malaya had not all been inoculated as they had gone out earlier.

We knew Yellow Fever was dangerous, but I did not hear of any cases in my time. The belief was that the inoculation gave lifetime protection. We really need a M.O. from those days to answer.
