1945

Fort, very few men on parade only about 20 owing to my having given 20 men their discharge. Had an
interesting talk with Bilal about the races, he was very pleased at Oleandar winning & at so many of the
sections getting placed. Court all the morning hearing the case about wood taken from Bapco. No doubt
about the wood having been taken but it will be difficult to prove that buyers knew it was stolen. Dull case,
got very tired of it. Read after lunch, an historical novel "Forever Amber" very long & rather good, some are
scandalised by it but I cant see why. Drove to Hedd. A gray rather unpleasant lowering day.
