12 Mar 1944, Diary of George Gerrard in Stanley Internment Camp Hong Kong

The latest is the reduction in the quantity of fish. On Wednesday we received two days fish which is normally on the equivalent of one day and it is said that cut is permanent but it is also inferred that the quality of vegetables will be increased which will be quite acceptable if the quality keeps up in standard to what we have been receiving lately.

On Monday we were inoculated against cholera. The jag has not affected me in any way. On Wednesday we received from the welfare 1/4 gill of peanut oil which is useful, but as we were discussing at Lalle a good fish supper and a toad in the hole would be the cats whiskers.

The weather just now is the coldest we've had yet and so actually our hunger is all the greater. There is not much news.
