Date(s) of events described:
Mon, 13 Jul 1942
Rumour that 'Conte Verde' with Shanghai Americans aboard, struck a mine outside Singapore, and all rescued; another rumour that British stopped the ship because she carried guns, and took off her passengers then torpedoed her. CSO deny it, and nothing in local paper about it.
Egypt news about the same, fierce fighing there. German advances in Russia, camp rumour that Russians have driven Germans out of Sebastapool.
