Wed, 17 Jan 1945
Two alarms but we heard no raids, we've all been very jumpy.
To work in afternoon.
Mr Bailey is all right ((he was in Bungalow C)) but a bit shaken, his face all little scratches from the blast, and his clothes sort of shaggy. Gave him cigarettes.
Haven't seen newspaper, but it's supposed to say 300 planes were over yesterday and 25 shot down; rumour that 3 pilots who came down by parachute were installed in the prison, and that a guarantee has been given that there'll be no more shooting from the camp. (Doesn't apply to the Prison, though.)
The funerals were at 4pm, only relatives and personal friends allowed to go.
Rice increase to 16 ozs. from 1st Feb. Olive and I will probably have to come off hospital rations.
