Wed, 17 Jan 1945
The 14 victims of yesterday's bombing are buried in a communal grave.
George Wright-Nooth is on the grave-digging party:
While we were digging news came that two more had died in hospital, so we had to lengthen the grave.
The remains are sewn up in rice sacks, as there are no coffins.
