back a couple of days. Quite suddenly we were being told that 3 people were to be exchanged from Stanley – Ms Greaves, Ms K Stark & Mabel Redwood left in afternoon – Marion Lee, Mrs MacKenzie & Jester arrived. Much chattering, as this was the first time we had really had any body from Stanley or outside anywhere – into our place. We learnt that 10 had been exchanged from Theresa’s & the ones from there were all ill – some more than others - Miss Thompson has complete paralysis of left arm! We are all agitating to go over to Theresa’s to help but it is no good. They have an epidemic of Diphtheria in Shamshuipo
Diary pages from this date
German lesson.
Results of Aleutian & Midway Battles still trickling in. US Navy to throw a blockade line across the Pacific?
Hill up again. ((Probably F. N. Hill))
Heavy showers.
Have been very depressed today. Je suis trés triste sans ma petite bonne femme a dorée. Mon Dieu! How much longer are we to be separated!
Weighed again today - up to 142 so the diet is agreeing with me - more bread has helped everybody.
