Thu, 9 Mar 1944

Coldest day so far. Windy & wet.

Ground bread rice & beans.

Hungry as hell all day.

German lesson.

Saw Steve pm. Eve there too.

(New scale of rations to come shortly?)

No news & Jap paper lousy. We cannot see to win anywhere & there seems to be coal-strikes all over the Empire.

Sparrows being "catapulted" for food.
