Overcast, brighter.

Lovely cup of tea this morning.

Newspaper no longer comes to the room so I miss details of the war news.

Hosp. roof.

Indulged in Cond. Milk, biscuits & sugar today with my rice. Much conjecture re possibility of US parcels.

Identification parade at St. Stephens 4.30pm.

Lorry empty 6pm.

Nimitz said Iwojima was taken at very little cost. Cologne & Dusseldorf in ruins & fighting going on on outskirts.
