17 July 1945

The Sirens were on the go again last night despite the rain. Yasume today. Reveille and Roll Call one hour later.

Coffee with double issue of sugar for breakfast. That's about the last of the sugar unless some more Red+ comes in.

Had a small portion of meat patti for midday meal. Had portion of Red + meat with evening meal to finish off the day, a good job we did as the quantity of rice today has simply a starvation diet.

There is a rumour that 1,000 planes went over Tokyo the other day without dropping a bomb but simply for show, also heard that Kobe is now flat.

Got 15 American cigarettes. This now finishes the stock of meat and cigarettes.
