This page from Lt D.W. Gay's 'War Effort' is the fourth of four pages of a poem written about Gay and two of his colleagues by Bruna and Marie Luise, two of the friends they made in Italy and kept in touch with after returning to South Africa. Here we get to see Bruna and Marie Luise, and the note that came with the poem, which was a Christmas gift.
we shall await your answer
and, with much pleasure, accept
Many thanks to Martin Hampton, the son in law of Lt. Gay, for sending us this material. These pages come from Gay's own private notebook which began with similar infomation to his flight log, but became more detailed, and also included a number of interesting items that had been pasted in.
