Book / Document: 
Date(s) of events described: 
Wed, 5 Sep 1945

Cloudy, showery, S wind.

2 Pkts Jap cigs. 1 Irish potato. ½ tin milk, ½ tin marmalade, (oatmeal, cocoa, ½ milk & ½ catsup) White bread.

Duty 12-3pm.

G & V to “Swiftsure” among their own once more. Makes me feel somewhat inferior.

Quite refreshing to read the daily paper again, all British & mostly sensibly written.  

G & V back 9.15pm made porridge, had supper & peg with them. We all registered for repatriation on board Emp. of Aus. ∴
