HK celebrated fall of Singapore now known as Bhosan Port.

Prof. Gordon King supposed to have escaped & told the world of our ill-treatment. If true I hope it does some good.

Now that Jap has Singapore & everything seems favourable for an AXIS victory I don’t suppose anything anyone does will help us any. Food not so good today. Our only hope now is that Germany gets a beating, & very soon.
