15 Jul 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary

Submitted by Barbara Anslow on Wed, 04/13/2016 - 15:42

Mabel and I back from paddling round the blocks with no shoes on.  She told me about the shows the VADs gave at the Military Hospital (often known as Bowen Road Hospital); and when she, as the baby of the VADs, was called upon to present a bouquet of flowers to the Matron for some anniversary.  And how upset Nanny (Nancy Grady) was when Mabel came away.

News still supposed to be improving – Egypt, and Crimea, but local paper still claiming Germans getting into Russia.

Tony came in evening, we played rummy.  His news is that the Japs are jittery – but his news is always on the optimistic side ((what a good thing, he was a great morale raiser.))
