Fine, warm.
Hill fire on Is. S of HK out by early am.
Sound of gunfire from N.Ts all day.
With Steve pm.
Ground rice & mended straps am.
Fed up.
Raid on Kowloon 11pm & some very heavy stuff dropped. No opposition from Japs except a little useless, belated AA fire & one plane flying around low after our chaps had gone. (Quite in keeping with their invincibility & indomitable fighting spirit, & their unfailing qualities that enable them to knock down our chaps at least 8 to 1 Ha Ha!!
