| 15 Aug 1944, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 16 Apr 2012 02:13 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Tue, 15 Aug 1944 ((Date is approximate)) Sudden news that we were going to get Canadian parcels. We all had to give up our private little gardens on the ex-football pitch to become communal gardens as food getting shorter, so our sweet potatoes which were coming on so well had to be hurriedly dug up. Electricity went off for good (we were told). Diet Kitchen had to close down. |
