20 May 1945, Barbara Anslow's diary

Sewed sheet out of pillow cases. ((I now wonder where the pillow cases came from))

Benediction in afternoon.

'Confirmed' at church:

WHIT SUNDAY - Sandbach / Wittenbach

((Following text not dated:))

No food at Rosary Hill by month end for Portuguese refuse go. Enemy nationals can't go Macao.

Downstairs Jap family suddenly move to Robinson Road. Replaced by single man. Upstairs now also Jap family. Naughty kids. Putting grilles on doors.

Night alerts continue despite rain. But no planes heard. Three alerts at night on 18th May. No bombs or firing

& Whit Sunday, hot & clear.

Water on, did my washing.

Made slice for R.N.H.Matron.

Egg etc to G & V.

No news. Rumour has it that fighting is in progress in Canton & that many people in town are starving.
