| #10 Sunday Nov 30/41
All we are issued with by Jerrys are 1 spoon and a dinie (soup pan) so we make frying pans out of fish tins, drinking cups out of a jam tin and knives out of tin wrapped around wood whittled to a blade form and flattened. We receive cheap needles in the canteen and take the strands of rope to sew with; pipes cost 2 marks 50 so we sell our chocolate or cigarettes to obtain enough for a pipe.
John and I have what we call our banquet once a week in which (ar best we had last week) 1 tin of pitchen (any idea what this is?)and a ration of spuds mixed mixed and fried to a deep brown, welsh rabbit (1 slice each) carrots and peas, 2/3 meat roll fried with 1 ration of fried potatoes, with bread and raison pudding (which john is very proficient at making) with cream, 1 slice of bread and jam, tea, chocolate and we ended it with a cigarette, well after all that I was darn near sick but very slap happy and everything John would say I would start laughing and couldn't stop(idiotic or what) ................... |
