This month, a few items that show glimpses of the lives of chaser officers and crewmen, after the war: a reunion photo, and a letter home from a chaser CO waiting for the return journey from overseas.
I hope everyone is having a pleasant summer.

SC 178 Reunion
Toby Goodyear submitted this image of a reunion of chaser crewmen from SC 178.
SC 178 was among the chasers that served overseas, at Plymouth, Queenstown, and in the minesweeping operations.
Model of SC 178
Also from the collection of Toby Goodyear is this model of subchaser SC 178, probably built from a Boucher kit.
Waiting for the Homeward Bound Journey
Walter "Red" Thompson, CO of SC 126, describes leisure activities and his thoughts on what to do next, now that the war has ended, in this letter home dated 11 December 1918.
