LATER: Two poor little half-starved boys have just come into camp and have been put in our ward - James and David Cameron, sons of Muriel (nee Smith). Muriel and her mother and the kids stayed out on Irish passports, ended up in Rosary Hill. They are pale little souls, fair-haired; and the elder (about 5) is thinner than any one I've ever seen in camp. They are well-dressed.
