| 23 Oct 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 03 Mar 2012 07:37 PM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Fri, 23 Oct 1942 Great news - we are to get parcels from Red Cross. Notice says they are 'beautifully packed', each contains 12 tins of assorted food. Also clothes have come - 500 hats; cocoa, tea etc., dried fruits - absolutely wonderful.. will help so much with this winter and relieves my mind about Mum and Mabel. Notice also says that the prisoners of war ((i.e. men in other camps)) will have twice as much as we are to have - that is making every one happy. Olive & I received $15 each. |
