8 Nov 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary

Submitted by Barbara Anslow on

Rumours that Germans in Libya have collapsed.

The men this morning had orders to assemble outside to bring up parcels, but it was a false alarm - tomorrow instead.

Mum and I went for walk through the cemetery; graves ((war ones)) have been made up beautifully, and poppies - hand painted - placed on graves, especially on the VADs - Mrs. Begg, Mrs. Buxton (whose husband also was killed in the war), Mrs. Smith and others.

Mabel better, she ate a rice pudding in evening because Sister Maureen Carew couldn't eat it.
