72 years ago: Hong Kong's wartime diaries |
| 5 Dec 1942, Barbara Anslow's diary Posted: 13 Mar 2012 02:11 AM PDT Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Sat, 5 Dec 1942 Dreadfully cold. Concert in evening - best I've seen here. Compered by Danny Wilson. Barton girls and others in colourful Spanish dance. H. Mundy gave a good 'Albert' poem ((a Stanley Holloway piece)), and 'Hong Kong' - words by Alec Kidd ((probably the 'Alexander Kidd' on the Stanley list, I didn't know him at all)). Rumours are that Turkey has entered war, and Hong Kong has been declared a free city; and we will be searched. Had first of vitamin caramels today - taste fishy. ((Caramels by Red Cross, and distributed to us one at a time.)) Yvonne ((Blackmore, aged 15)) returned story, verdict: 'this story held my interest all the time, I was always loathe to put it down.'  |
