Overjoyed to get the first letter from Et

posted in Jany 44, so Took exactly 9 mths
to reach me. What a relief to know she
is back in Aust - I wish I knew when
she got back
MONDAY 1 JULY Et doesn't
say all is well, but I hope for best.
She says Gra & she spent Xmas with
Joan - No mention of Geo & Vernon & I
hope they are safe & well. So many
my friends Dutch & British, congratd me
on getting letter as they knew how I
longed for it after 2 yes & 9 mths
silence. I have fever & flu again
but Dr said the letter will make me
better! Maybe its not the first Et has 
wrote me & hope the Jap Red + let more
thro. I am dangerously thin & the
Med. Board have ordered me little
bit extra sago, wh. is our bkfast &
supper.

THURSDAY 4
call my "landmark" & hope we are
together for them next year. I am recovering
from the worst attack of bronchitis & flu
Ive ever had. Dr was putting me in hospital
but no spare place, owing much
dysentery, beri beri etc. Baljet lent
me his woollen pullover, thank God, as
FRIDAY 5
I have no shirt at all, only rags.
News of big Allied Naval defeat off
Formosa - hope J. claims untrue.
Whalan got news in letter that horse-racing
still in Aust so things there can't
be too bad - hope theres a war boom on.

good friends! C.Oil is f14.00 (£2) a bottle.

3rd after Trinity
Another Xmas come & gone! We had beans
& rice for Xmas dinner. Sunday 14th was
Joany's 26th birthday - hope a happy
day. I am just out of hospital - fever &
bronchitis. Very despondent because many
letter coming from Australia & England
& none for me. Some actually got photos
of their families & long letters I have
only had 30 words in a p.c. from
Et. Hospital was the usual ghastly
experience. Men dying around, just
a few feet from me - no screens
or curtains. Palings struggled all
night with his pneumonia, gasping
for breath, then died in evening.
Japs refused permission for his 3 children
to visit him from the Women's Camp,
but allowed his wife to. Kruse died of
dysentery. I watched them both
pass away - many say they don't want
to live, on a/c over starvation. I often
feel very faint. Never without hunger.
Bugs frightful in hosptl & I couldn't 
sleep - only in day as they dont
bite then. Got an issue of a few
JULY 1935

peanuts f9.25 per Kilo that works
THURSDAY 11.
out at £1-5-0 for 2 1/5 lbs weight.
our food is jungle leaves roots, less
than ¼ oz. offal meat per man per
day, & little rice once a day only.
I wish a letter would arrive from
Et to buck me up. Dutch cooks have
FRIDAY 12
given me many splendid recipes for
food when we are free. Samuel
died of malnutrition. Providentially
he recd a letter from his mother
(aged 90) day b4 died. He had
no news from family for 3 yrs.
SATURDAY 13
& it preyed on his mind, & he
asked Dr give him something to
end it all - a Decent little bloke.
10-2-45
Some Jap big shot officers visited
Camp - Resident complained bitterly
of food, & they gave him a small
tin of S&W. coffee & some
cigarettes about dozen. Jap. Govr
of Sumatra was leader.

SUNDAY 14
4th after Trinity
Poor Lindsay ^ (Aust) died yday evng from
malnutrition. He put up good fight.
Aldo Doyer died in next bed to me.
A couple pints of milk & few eggs
wd. have saved their lives. Of the
4 men in my corner (including me)
the other 3 have died Palings, Grose
& Doyer, leaving me survivor.
We received today, 2½ lbs of
meat for 1000 men! Can't last
indefinitely like this. For my
cheque of £50 I managed to get
from Schoof f.90, so could buy
few peanuts, & little jungle soup.
These few extras really keep us
alive. Lindsey's wife runs hat
shop in Darlinghurst. thank
Commenced from Today,

my cheque on C'wlth Bank.

THURSDAY 18
My good friend Joahm (German) gave
me pair of old shorts, as my only
pair absolutely rags. Think Js
evacuating Sumatra judging by
road activity. Slight beri-beri
in both my legs. Cotton picking
every day to earn little sugar,
about 1½ ozs per week.
BangKinang
26-3-45
20th (Tuesday) was Gra's 15th birthday & I
thought much of him, & pray we are
together b4 his 16th. Hope he had happy
day. The J. plan now seems clear -
it is to so debilitate us by starvation that
we are then unable to resist infection.
Men are dying like flies of dysentery.
No medicines available. Godée (ex-Govr
of Padang Gad) told me we are getting less
than 1/3rd food per man per day that
the Dutch gave to the lowest class of
native prisoner in peace Time in the
gaols. Godée knows & he could give me
exact details. Quality also incomparable.
250 cases of Beri beri in the camp.

SUNDAY 21
5th after Trinity
I can hardly describe present camp
conditions. Men are dying like flies -
combination of dysentery & starvation.
No proper medicines - so-called hospital
frightfully overcrowded & stench
awful. It is just murder by the Js.
3 men died within a few feet of me
(quite openly, uncovered) last few
nights. John Millar & Walth gone.
Trouble is all so weak unable resist
infection. I hope & pray I escape
dysentery. My beri-beri is stationary.
Got 2nd p.c. from Et (un-dated)
but postmark shows Novr
1943. Took 18 months reach me.
Thank God "all well". & "Gra getting
