Wednesday
Late in, overslept. District Officer said he hoped I should keep
better hours after Christmas. Felt
myself going very red.
Recently the figures were
published of raid casualties in November – 119 dead. This is very curious, as every one was saying
that between 200 and 300 were killed in a London
dance hall on November 6th.
Also recently announced that about 5,000 have been killed by road
accidents. This arouses nothing like the
horror of 100 raid deaths.
Heard tonight that one evening
recently a policeman from Stratford
came up to see the Americans at Higham about a stolen bicycle. As he walked across the field towards the hut
one of the Americans fired at him with a Tommy-gun, without stopping to ask any
questions. The policeman was justifiably
annoyed. What amusing times we live in.
Throat bad again today, but not
very much. Feel rather depressed. Thankful that Father is safe and warm for
Christmas.
