You guys are so great doing this !! ...................  :)

I think the second line says .......... 2 lief ...... meaning 2nd Lt. !! ( his rank !! )

Did they ever find that hotel JJ ? .......... I think I got too caught up in the sampling !!  ::)

But I digress .............. I wish I could get some army info ... that would probably help enormously !!

Hi Mary ! ...... sorry I didn't say that before !

My "soldier smart " friend says .................  ;)

Quote
The second and third line is absolutely:

'As I appeared at Omdurman

In Sept 98'

(look at the 'I' before 'appeared' in the second line of script and then look at the 'I' at start of the third line of script).

Also, I think the first line of script (the one in question) is done by the same hand. Look at the 't' in 'Sept' in the third line of script and compare it to the second letter of the second word or name in the first line of script. Also, his lower case 's' appears to have the same degree of slope

How about that for blinding you with science ??
