Thu, 26 Feb 1942
Whole family out riding tram along Praya to Kennedy Town. Along western waterfront some godowns intact. Further west many warehouses destroyed in the shelling and bombing. Distressing sight bodies of soldiers drifting near Praya. Counted five close in, of which two clearly Japanese and three startlingly white in contrast. Had been moving out and back with tide for two months, and no one's business to collect and give burial.
