1 September 1945

The planes are on the go in the vicinity of where we believe other camps to be and it has been radioed that they are dropping wireless sets, medical supplies, and foodstuffs for all the camps, so we are looking forward to their next visit.

For midday meal we had good quality rice with beans mixed through it and a fairly good stew. This, with a portion of peaches, was most satisfactory.

The Japanese have issued us with a tablet of toilet soap and a tin of powdered soap. I have managed to get hold of some of the silk tape attached to the parachutes - it should make very fine pyjama cords.

The Japanese staff are leaving either tomorrow or the next day and the Civil Police are taking over the camp.

All the Japanese, except about six and the C.C., have left the camp.
