8 Dec 1944, Barbara Anslow's diary

Went to Mr Dann's funeral during which there was an air raid alarm. ((As soon as the funeral was over, we mourners flew from the cemetry to Block 10 - the nearest building; we were pursued by a Formosan or Jap soldier, who objected because we had been out during a raid.  He caught us up outside Block 10, and hit Father Donald Hessler across the back with the wooden end of his rifle, and slapped his face.  I was next to Father, and expected to get it too, and trembled for my glasses, but he just glared at me.))

After the raid was over, went to the end of Annie Van Der Lely's engagement party to R. N. Rennie (Police) in Dutch Block.
