The Diary in September

A day out away from daily grind – another death, more farewells.

September 1st – 5th

A surfeit of plums, potato problems, and fears about the air raids in London. 107 reported killed in Thanet.

September 6th – 10th

An expedition to Beer in Devon to look for a butterfly. A change from the hospital chores.

September 11th – 21st

Another friend is killed at the front. Wynne occupies herself with some displacement activity, and bemoans her aching teeth.

September 22nd – 26th

Wynne hears her brother is on his way home, but is sad to say farewell to her sister-in-law. More air raids reported.
