30 Aug 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 22 Feb 2012 06:35 AM PST Book / Document:  Barbara Anslow's diary Date of events described:  Sun, 1942-08-30 Mabel 19 today.  Popped up to ward to say Happy Brthday to Mary, it's her birthday too - 24th.   Mara, Nan and friends gave Mabel pretty birthday (home-made) cards, and hankies, and a party this afternoon in the cemetery. Mrs G cooked the cake!  -- nominally for Nan's friend Una ((Brown)) in Married Q. kitchen. ((Constance Una Brown, whose husband in HKVDC was killed during fighting; their little daughter Annette also in camp.)) To Benediction in afternoon.   In evening piano recital..  The lovely music upset Mabel, because no Sid here on her birthday. Later we fried sweet potatoes from Mr Gelling's ((J.H. Gelling)) garden ((they were birthday present)), and had salmon and rice; Nan came along too - a nice little spread.
