Bathed Sanian after dinner.
Drove out to see HH with H. Shs A & S were there. Discussed Sh Mohammed & also
defence arrangements & Byard's appointment. They seemed satisfied but I can see they
don't fancy the appointment of the Iraqi officer.
Strong wind & cool day.
Went for a very pleasant ride with Gunn, through Ali & over the open country beyond,
lovely day & very nice riding. Dined with H.W & went to the cinema. Snow, who was asked
too, not well & thinks he is starting mumps - such a nuisance as he moved into the hospital
today & has 10 bed patients there.
Letters from M, Godfrey & Didi
Sunday 16th June
Went up to the Fort in morning to see about recruits.
Dr M & Miss H about various matters, as usual Dr M got very cross, it is a pity she is so
stupid over everything except - presumably - her actual work.
Monday 17th June
Terrible news from France, they have collapsed and are seeking an armistice. Fort. Went
late to the court as so many people came in earlier among them Van S & de Jong, I quite
liked Van S but rather opinionated & very much the " I know all".
