Book / Document: 
Date(s) of events described: 
Sun, 2 Apr 1944

Dull, rained & blew pm.

Above rations issued. ((Probably the "10 days rations. 4oz oil. 1.06oz tea. 1.74 sugar. 1.5 curry pwdr." mentioned in yesterday's diary entry.))

Ground rice for bread.

Saw Steve pm & he is in a bad way really.

A lousy day altogether. Constant thoughts of food, fruit cake & slabs of chocolate predominate.

New system of roll-call promulgated.
