09 Jun 1943, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

Blackouts are now the order of the day and with a big improvement in the weather, it is now bright and sunny again with just odd showers, one can put up with blackout discomfort. It is said that there is a lot of shipping in the harbour which is making them extra cautious.

Some more people have received Canadian letters since I received yours and it is that you my hope that some more of yours will come my way soon. Hugh S and Margaret B banns were called for the second time last Sunday.

I received a parcel on Friday from Lo Fung (typist) containing 4 catties of English potatoes and they were grand, a fine change and a real treat, also 1 tin sardines and 1 tin of condensed fruit, all very acceptable to our mess.

There's nothing of much importance in our lives to report this week.
