Overcast, raining. E. wind, cooler.

US attacked Bonins [?] ((Ogasawara)) with scores of planes 15th. 600 mls. S. of Japan. Usual disparaging reports re French & Saipan landings. German’s new weapon reported as being pilotless planes. (Easy meat for our fighters if true & how do these planes find their targets?)

Rec. letter from Hilda, undated.

At auction for little while (1 pencil Y9=10/6. 1 towel Y20= £1-3-4. 1pr homemade shoes Y12=14/-. 2 small sewing needles Y1=1/2.) Saw Steve after.

(We are all to be moved into the Gaol. Repatriation still expected to take place by the people who should know).
