8 Aug 1942, Joan Whiteley's wartime diary

Submitted by jo.price on

Terrific tension Colonel Shackleton & Colonel Simpson and Cmdr Gleave leave for Argyle St (sent message to Forbes). Something else in the air. We are told by Matron at lunch time that all sisters & VAD’s are going to Stanley on the 10.8.42.  Feverish packing, terrific depression amongst staff and patients.
