WHITE_FLAG FLYING – HK surrendered.
Nothing but blood, dirt, rush and the continual noise of shelling and bombing. When we knew that they had landed on the island it just added to the strain as according to reports they were in the hills around the hospital & quite likely to shoot us going about our work. I was off night duty 24.12.42.
Surrender. Words can never describe what that feeling is like. One night spent in shelters under hospital (Sybil sick)
((Confusing entry in diary – surrender dated 25.12.42??))
