Paper says that Northern Germany, Norway, Denmark etc. have surrendered as from 8.30am on Friday 4th May. Hitler apparently 'was deprived of his life'; by a 'Red Army bullet' when coming down a staircase in his residence with a weapon in his hand - on May 1st.
Bought 4 ozs. tomatoes from the Anguses for a pound of rice. ((Mrs. M. Angus - 72, 2 sons Herbert 'Ginger' Angus - 37, Frank Angus - 36; daughter-in-law Mrs Hilda Angus (41) all in camp (but not Hilda's husband).))
Went up to Lena and Thomas Edgar's bungalow and had a lovely tea - lettuce tomatoes, bread and butter, bread and beancurd, tea with cube sugar, and little tarts.
Miss S. Spencer (nurse) has had some short stories published (pre-camp).

Les Fisher's Shamshuipo diary
Les Fisher's Shamshuipo diary records the Hong Kong News carrying the story of the German surrender on May 6, claiming it took place on May 4. May 6 was a Sunday - does anyone know if the HKN was published on a Sunday?
Sunday HKN
I found an example of a Sunday issue of the Hong Kong News at:
