From the 7th of May onward there will be another
1/2 pint of milk. In all 3 pints each week.
Extra sugar for jam making will be obtainable
for schools viz. 4 lbs which will make
8 lbs of jam. A report from Mountbatten
says that we are still still advancing from Kohima.
Extensive bombing took place.
News from the S W P. is mostly about air activity,
bombing of Rabaul, New Guinea and
Carolines. Light skirmishing takes place in
the Hollandia area. Riv [?] Robson gave a review
about the New Guinea fighting and he says
correspondents are beginning to wonder what happened
to the 60000 Japanese troops. The Japs seem
completely broken and outfought. Through the occupation
of Hollandia and Madang we now have 2
harbours with sea and airlines.
Courtney [?] an eye witness of the landing
of the Americans in New Guinea gave and
account.
