15 Jun 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 13 Feb 2012 05:42 AM PST Book / Document:  Barbara Anslow's diary Date of events described:  Mon, 1942-06-15 Up early. Raining, so got into my shorts, borrowed Mrs G's clogs and short mack, and hurried up to admin. bungalow on hill.  Heaps of people waiting there - men for the ration lorry; some to collect parcels sent them from people in town, and nurses waiting to go to B. Rd Hosp.   After a long wait, Mr Nielson came over and said the rain was stopping the arrival today.   The hopes of Mabel coming have almost diminished again, because during the day I've heard of heaps of people who had been agitating to come from the hospital into camp.   Blister on foot from clogs in the rain on an incline in a hurry.
