Rain, heavy low cloud.

Roll-call 8am.

Longest day.

No rations arrived.

Paper playing up the German “new weapon”. Elba evacuated & four more places in Finnland. Obvious progress being made in France with Germans saying Cherbourg & peninsula not really worth much strategically. Total absence of Pacific or Burma news.

Ground rice, chopped wood.

Saw Steve after concert.

(Shall I be seeing you two soon Marj darling?)
