Hi Folks...from Barbados

Albert Ward has been given special dispensation to visit his uncle who owns the Mount Gay Rum distillery in Barbados.The official purpose of the visit is as a naval representative for the acquisition of sufficient stores for the ongoing supply needs during the war. His uncle being an astute negotiator insisted the Albert be granted leave to address this need. The British Consolate here and the Naval brass saw fit to grant Albert the necessary time and dispatched him quickly on their fastest destroyer. He is expected back at RNAS-3 by Jan 22nd. Albert was loathe to leave the front but saw fit to sacrifice on behalf of the war effort!
