| 15 Jul 1944, R. E. Jones Wartime diary Posted: 03 Jun 2014 09:48 PM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Sat, 15 Jul 1944 Squally, overcast all day. 4 cigs issued. Palmer aged 70 died & buried today. ((Probably refers to I Chalmers.)) Mrs Brown to hosp. ((MW Brown?)) Russians doing fine, all other news either covered or absent. 11am meal extremely lousy, rice & beans, pm meal a little better. 2 fried sprats, 2 pot & 2 taro chips, fish sauce (described as doubtful) fish water & rice. With Steve pm. Rained heavily all the evening so plenty got wet shirts getting home by 8pm. According to Camp Bulletin letter & graph re camp conditions sent to Tokyo & the petition signed by 91% of the Camp sent to Jap Authorities in town. Nothing will come of either as usual. Cigs & the few cents allocated to workers ceased & the supply of tea is exhausted. So it goes on, negative results & decrease of amenities such as they are. |
