Here is what the link contains:

 

Sneh was in the middle of a film and I dreaded the thought of making our farewells at the railway station but fate took a hand. I had to go from my base to travel up with several other young officers so we parted at the bungalow. She to go to Bombay and I to spend my last night at R.A.F.Poona. I was glad to be traveling up with a young Canadian officer, P/O Picken with whom I had been since landing. He also knew Sneh who 'asked him to look after me!' The journey was without event; we arrived and found that our Head Quarters was quite efficient but pretty primitive by the standards we had known.
