| 12 - 13 Sep 1944, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 16 Apr 2012 02:32 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Tue, 12 Sep 1944 to Wed, 13 Sep 1944 Canadian parcels etc. arrived in camp. All night long and in early hours of morning we heard lorries groaning backwards and forward from the quay. When they were distributed, we got 4 parcels each! ((A neighbour, Mr. W. Pryde, died suddenly on the 12th so was not included in the distribution. We felt that his widow should have been given his share as well as her own, as he was alive when the parcels actually arrived in camp,(though dead before distribution) and she had to cope with the loss of her husband - she was such a selfless person and had lost so much weight. She served in ARP during war. The Prydes boys were in Australia. Post war, one of the boys who was married with children died very young, and Mrs Pryde brought them up.)) |
