Diaries of John Kevin Lloyd - Part 20

MONDAY DEC 11
My prayer book was returned franked by the Japs. Mass was said at 1600
hours in the banana grove. More alerts during the day. Yesterday a small
fighter- believe to be 1/5 of the Thai air force went up while the bombers
were about but did not look very hard for them and soon departed.
There are still no bananas and we are feeling hungry most of the day. Helpful
to dig more slit trenches in the padi fields,  a another search for wire, [[?]]
weapons etc.
TUESDAY DEC 12
POWs from the jungle state that 51 POWs were killed and 18 wounded when the
train in which they were travelling was bombed and MGed on 10 Dec. Bombers
also attacked Wan Po, Wan Yei, Kinsyake and Apron (Burma). Later 11 more deaths
were reported from [[Bienkasji?]]-another attack. Two air raid alerts some about midnight
or after this morning.
WEDNESDAY DEC 13
Heard that 2 Koreans who were involved in subversive activities a few weeks ago 
were awarded long sentences. Iemeis 20 years, Kaniyarna(?) 15 years. This latter was
a particularly obnoxious Q.M. who "sacked" various officers  QMs because they
dared to oppose him, and bashed Howitt. It appears that no more personnel will come
here from Chimkai, leaving them just over 100 strong with 200 standing by for
the jungle. air raid alarm at 1900 - the rumbling of many bursting bombs came up to
the south east, a little later 3 bombers approached from the west and came through
for the bridge. I knew they were going to disp bombs, but would they overshoot, the
