Rush says. “I would be very grateful if you would pass on my best thanks to residents of Conisbrough and Denaby Main for the gift from the Comforts Fund. each week I receive the “South Yorkshire Times” and I can see they are doing their bit for the war effort magnificently, and I hope they will continue. You can let all my old mates know I am still okay. I send my best wishes to everyone at home.”
