There is no water in camp except for one small well and how can this supply the needs of over 2,000 people?...{Lieutenant} Hara realizes the seriousness of the situation and has been in constant conference with Gimson....Gimson has suggested a move to Shamshuipo POW camp but the Japanese will not consider it....Digging has started....The water diviners were out this morning - there were plenty of aspirants -and certain places marked out as possibilities.
