"Dear Sir, I herewith make application for discharge from the A.I.F. My reasons are that the condition of my wife's health is not too good. She has two (2) young children to look after, and is expecting to have another one shortly, and this combined with living by herself is causing me grave concern and I am afraid of he health breaking down completely.Hoping my application will be favourably considered.
I remain Dear Sir, Yours obediently, A Gates, 58th Depot Company.
