| 8 May 1944, R. E. Jones Wartime diary Posted: 29 Apr 2014 06:58 PM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Mon, 8 May 1944 Fine, humid. Rice grinding etc. took 5hrs of my time today. Not feeling so energetic of late. Pulse rate low. With Steve pm. No news, a depressing day. Reading book "South of the Sun" by Russell Owen. He talks of boredom, lassitude etc. after only eight months on the Southern Ice Barrier with 41 other men, plenty of food, cigs & drink. He'd have died long ago under these circumstances. Spring cleaning everywhere as per Jap? order. 4hrs work. |
