Sunday 10th June

Spent some time at the hospital talking business with Dr Doeg, they are having a difficult time there, woman
in charge of men, and need support.

Dined at the Punjab camp with Hesketh, in the mess, a poor dinner, beef steak pudding with heaps of heavy
suet, so suitable on a hot night! Then saw the film, Song of Bernadette. A beautifully done film about
Lourdes, difficult subject but very well done, I enjoyed it greatly.

Monday 11th June

Change over, went up to the Tech school to see about coloured threads for use at Jidda. Office, very busy
morning, court then spent a while at the hospital. Dont feel that all is going on quite well there, difficult
when there are only women in control. Went to see the Van Ps in afternoon who are going off tomorrow to
Palestine, he seemed in a poor way, doesnt speak much & as she said quite lost grip on things. A new
American wife child & husband came in. Bathed before dinner.
