This blog posts extracts from E J Rudsdale's diaries of life on the home front in Britain during the Second World War. Each extract was posted exactly 70 years after it was first written, marking the 70th anniversary of the Second World War between 2009-2015.
19th June 1941
Cycled over to the Belfields’ at Dedham tonight, to help Penelope cart hay. Hot. Made myself very, very tired, and felt ill on the way back. Anne Hughes-Stanton came over from Stratford, a strange moody child, dark and rather handsome. All she wanted to talk about was her recent appendicitis operation.

Thanks for your concern, Frank. I'm afraid that E.J. must be unwell at this time as there is an unexplained and uncharacteristic blank in the diary over these days. However, he will be making a return shortly and will certainly have an opinion on the recent turn of events in the war! Thanks for your interest and best wishes, CP
