Billy celebrated his eleventh birthday on the 12th June, 1941 and Mrs Postlethwaite throws a party for Billy and some of his school friends. She also buys him a new party dress which Alice described as ‘even prettier than her birthday dress’. Alice gifted him a cross-stitch design she’s made bearing the name William in ornate lettering and surrounded with flowers and butterflies. Billy graciously receives the gift and Mrs Postlethwaite hangs it above his bed. He also receives a birthday card and lengthy letter from his mother. All is well with her and father is doing well in hospital after catching a few bullets during a low altitude bombing raid over Nazi occupied Belgium; his father’s leg is badly damaged but he may walk again. She wishes Billy a happy birthday and hopes he’s still having a lovely time living in the countryside.
