Letters, manuscript, 18 March 1941 to 29 June 1941, from Leslie G. Cairns, 152nd Field Regiment RA, Ayrshire Yeomanry, while in Caithness. In the letters, Leslie describes his daily life in Caithness, as well as a short period for a training course in Brora, Sutherland. He describes events like a barn dance, a fete and a sports day (where he ran a mile) being organised at Caithness. He also discusses his ambitions for a future with Irene J. Young such as travelling together and imagines what life might look like after the war. He writes fondly about the periods they spend together on leaves and also describes some homesickness.
