Mon, 18 Dec 1944
We (RC young ladies) gave Marie Barton a shower in honour of her engagement to Vincent Marcus Morrison (HK Police, who, with Randall, Bidmead and Fay had escaped from Stanley in 1942, but were caught and put in Stanley Gaol; released back into camp this June.) ((Marie and Vincent eventually had a very large family; when in 1963 my eldest son went to Winslade School, Clyst St Mary in Exeter as a weekly boarder, we found that one of the Morrison boys, Peter, was also a pupil there. There were many other Morrisons then - Michael, Anthony, Frances, Bernadette, Margaret, and Angela The family lived in Sidmouth.))
That night I wrote most of 'A child's Christmas'. ((A nostalgic memory of Christmas as a child in UK too long to include here))
