18 Jul 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 19 Feb 2012 05:22 AM PST Book / Document:  Barbara Anslow's diary Date of events described:  Sat, 1942-07-18 All the rumours are conflicting: we are doing well in Egypt and Russia.. we are NOT doing ditto. At canteen today I bought a Shnghai produced 'Lacovomalt' for Mum, and someone either swiped it in a split second, or else the correct amount weren't handed out from stock:  still, they gave me another tin.

18 Jul 1942, Ella Buuck's wartime diary Posted: 03 Jul 2012 02:12 AM PDT Book / Document:  Ella Buuck's wartime diary Date of events described:  Sat, 1942-07-18 It's getting warmer and the crisp air is grand. It's perfect to sit out on the open deck and soak up air and sunshine. The children all have a cold, but this grand air should cure it quickly. Someone gave me a pair of brown suede shoes and they fit fine. Boy what a different feeling to have shoes on that look like something! I also received a pair of hose from some kind lady, but one hardly dare wear them lest we have nothing when we land. I have gone without for almost 6 months so I hardly miss them.
