Letters, diaries and photographs from World War II

Wednesday 23rd May 1945

At 9am we started up the Clyde, arriving at the King George V dock at midday. It was a most interesting trip. There is an amazing amount of ship construction going on. I’ve really got the feeling I’m on my way home. I help with the unloading of the baggage. At 3.30am I had got all my stuff off and so transferred to my valise the minimum needs.
