Feb 23 - 26 - Quiet, snow never completely off ground, sometimes heavy.

Feb 23 - Ash Wednesday - Off smokes & sugar

Feb 27 - Confession, Mass & Communion, served Mass

Feb 28 - Mar 1 - All quiet, sporadic snow, air-raid alarms day & night

Bergamini died early this morning.

Mar 2 - Game of football in snow to-day, amusing but sloppy.

Mar 3 - Capt. Cochrane arrived this evening, he's in Les's surgical room, Rm 6 in

Bk 3, the one I had while Cawood was ill. To stay there temporarily

until accommodation is found in Wohnbarracks.

Mar. 4 - Buried Bergamini

Mar. 5 - Mass & Communion. Hospital Team beat Erika Grube lads 3-2, good

game, in spite of slush of thawing snow.

Mar. 6 - Finished first filtering of brew. News that Ites are to go in a couple of days.

Have been having 2-3 raid warnings each day, and occasionally one at

night - things seem to be moving along those lines. Russian M.O. from

Sehmorkan to lunch with us. Apparently impressed by Anglo-Saxon

combativeness as demonstrated by Steve and Alan Smith & Co in their cups.

Finished first filtering of the brew.
