Mon, 21 Aug 1944
Overcast, showery, warmer.
Chinese paper came in. Our forces on the outskirts of Paris where the inhabitants are on communal feeding. US Anglo forces rapidly advancing up Rhone valley. St. Malo finished. Russians through Osowiec.
Veg & what is a tremendous surprise, pheasant. It seems they are getting rid of the Dairy Farm stuff before it goes rotten due to lack of power to run refrigerator plant. What a chance for Jap propaganda, “Internees fed on pheasant”.
With Steve pm.
(Camp rumour, “Japs asking for terms” “Canton about to be taken”)
