The Diary in December
An operation for her niece, and the news that Herbert will get no Christmas leave, make for a sad and difficult month.
December 1st – 6th
Wynne’s niece goes to London for an operation, and Wynne accompanies her after a hectic week.
December 7th – 13th
Wynne in London – her niece’s operation goes well, and in between hospital visits Wynne shops and goes to St Pauls.
December 14th – 18th
She goes home, meeting mud-encrusted soldiers at Waterloo who are just home on leave…but she hears her own husband’s leave has been cancelled.
December 19th – 23rd
Absent husband and sad news does not make for a specially festive time. Wynne confides her sadness and anxiety to the diary.
December 24th – 31st
Wynne signs off teh year with a hard evening at the Hut and an early bed…but in spite of the gloom some merriment was had.
