All female staff to sleep top floor Barrack Block. Just in bed 10am nobody asleep, up comes some man who tells us to creep into hosp. What a nightmare journey. Down the stairs – back again – down again. RAMC men at various points. Bright moonlight of course (Sybil blind as a bat) all carrying our bedding, eventually we arrived Ward 3, large holes in ceiling. Boarded ourselves in best way we could. Slept on floor.
Working Ward 9. Staff Renate, Joan Wood, Mrs Begden, Mrs Q Jeraige. Wonderful work. Nursing as it is dreamed about, working til you’re fit to drop
