REST & RECREATION TRIPS TO LONDONfrom the Journal of Stanley
Claster
From June 9-12 the Arnold crew had their first of several breaks
from combatmissions long enough to make a trip to London. Like
other crews, the team would receivethree-day passes that would
allow for two nights in the city. The trip from Molesworth toLondon
took only about two hours by train. Everyone wanted to stay on low
floors of solidhotels because of the German V-1 flying bomb attacks
that were regularly destroyingportions of the city. Hotel receipts
indicate Stanley Claster favored the mammothCumberland Hotel near
Marble Arch where he stayed three times. During the June
18-19visit, Claster stayed at the Park Lane Hotel located in
Piccadilly. The officers sharedrooms among themselves as did the
enlisted men. Military regulations prohibited officersand enlisted
men from sharing the same quarters, even on leave. Claster and
Pilot WilliamArnold roomed together at the Cumberland on August 5
and 6, just after the crewcompleted their last mission. John
Surrell and Ralph Lichtenwalter stayed at HamiltonHouse several
times until their last visit when it had been destroyed by German
bombs.
The crew members saw the sights, went shopping, and enjoyed the
social life ofwartime London, including dates with local girls.
Stanley Claster described one busy visitin a July 13 letter to his
parents: "I arrived in town around noon after getting a room at
oneof the better hotels and buying some stuff at the Officers PX. I
met my friend [girl-friend]later in the afternoon. We went to
several of the better bars in town and then to a verynice place for
dinner. The place we went had music and dancing also, and it's
about thebest place I've seen around town. As my friend lives out
in the suburbs, we had to leavearound 10 to make her train. The
next day I went uptown early and got a haircut and anew hat. Then I
met my friend for lunch. After lunch I went to a movie which I
enjoyed verymuch because Jimmy Durante was in it. After the movie,
I met my friend again and wentout again, notably to the Savoy and
Dorchester bars. All in all had a swell time andenjoyed it very
much."
