Date(s) of events described:
Fri, 6 Apr 1945
To Mass then to work, pretty busy.
Newspaper is full of landings on Lu Chius made on Sunday morning, and the bombing of the French Hospital in town on 4th April, resulting in death of 'at least 4 Sisters and 100 children and babies in creche'. How much of it is near to military objectives is under much discussion here; some say godowns are near, others say that Japs are living there, etc.
((The modern name for the Lu Chius is the Ryukyu Islands - this diary entry refers to the allied landings on Okinawa))
Visited Leprosarium and Connie Van Der Lely, and Mrs de Broekert and Burgess in afternoon.
