Mincemeat and beans and a large quantity of badly cooked rice today. Am at last getting better at eating rice among other stuff.
Morning off from work, but had to spend it all being searched at Stephen's Prep. School grounds by the sea. ((Japs got us all lined up, near where we first landed in Stanley. There were armed soldiers all round us. We wondered if we were to be massacred, or sent off somewhere. In fact, Japs used our absence to search through all the accommodation, presumably looking for wireless sets, weapons etc. The main worry of us Redwoods was, would they come across the opened tin of sausages with the remaining half of contents, and help themselves.... they didn't though)).
