Submitted by Admin on Tue, 2016-06-14 17:30Book / Document:Date(s) of events described:Tue, 27 Mar 1945Met a Jap on way to get congee. I just bowed and so did he. Rehearsal at 10am on Bowling Green, and 11.30am at St Stephens, but we couldn't get the hall and had to go to the open kitchen.
Dick (Cloake) said there's a rumour that Block 14 in Indian Quarters will be taken over as a gun emplacement - or tunnel!
Rehearsal was pretty awful. Worked in afternoon.
Saw Frelford today. He may give me his charity story.
Meeting in evening. Dr Kirk came in evening bringing something he wants me to type.
