With Lt Roche having contracted flu yesterday, today it was Greg’s turn to be struck down by ‘Merville Fever’.
Diary
Thursday June 20th. Started with an attack of Merville Fever. A sort of ’flu lasting three or four days. Called P.U.O. (Placed Under Observation). Had a letter from Kenneth & one from Alice.
So no flying for Greg. But two letters from the family in Holyhead must have cheered him up.
Kenneth Gregory and Alice Gregory
Kenneth was an elder brother, a mining engineer who worked with their father managing the quarry on Holyhead mountain. Alice was their sister, and a Queen Alexandra Nurse. She was also, in Oscar Wilde’s memorable phrase, excessively pretty.
