| 23 Mar 1944, R. E. Jones Wartime diary Posted: 06 Mar 2014 05:57 AM PST Book / Document: Date(s) of events described: Thu, 23 Mar 1944 Overcast, cool. Ground rice for bread & for Mary. Roll Call cancelled. St. David's Concert at St. Stephen's. Went off OK. North's notes compiled from recently arrived Nippon Times make very heartening reading & we wonder that the Germans have stuck it so long. ((Rees North, or R A C North ?)) Roy had letter from Connie (Sept '42) nothing new in it apparently. Plumb also had one from Jillott [?] All seems to be well with them all down there. Fuggle in a sawmill, Merriman & Jillott in Dept. of Mental Hygiene (Lunatic Asylum) Perry in Air-craft works, all on pension scale wages. ((Who was Roy? I guess the names were of people that had moved to Australia?))  |
