The old and the new years have gone and come; Christmas has come and gone and so has ‘Laburnum Grove’ and I am very much behind with my diary.

We had another air raid on Sunday 23rd Jan and a rumour went round that a Japanese cruiser in the harbour had been hit. Japanese officials from the camp and prison are supposed to have gone to town to attend the funeral ceremony of some Naval officers who were killed.
