The flour ration is over, and Thomas Edgar and his fellow bakers make their last bread from flour - except for a Christmas and New Year loaf baked from four year old emergency supplies. From now on, there's even more rice in the internees' diet:

After flour finished in the Camp we made a substitute bread from rice flour (ground in the Camp on Stone Mills). Although not very good it was better than nothing at all.

Edgar also notes that meat deliveries come to an end at this time.
