Great news - we are to get parcels from Red Cross. Notice says they are 'beautifully packed', each contains 12 tins of assorted food. Also clothes have come - 500 trilby hats; cocoa, tea etc., dried fruits - absolutely wonderful.. will help so much with this winter and relieves my mind about Mum and Mabel.
Roast meat and lovely baked potato. We drew 2 canteen tickets.
Notice also says that the prisoners of war ((i.e. men in other camps)) will have twice as much as we are to have - that is making every one happy. Olive & I received $15 each.
