Robert Hodgson
World War II
P. O. W. Diary

March 17, 1945

St. Patrick's Day, football, and rugby tournaments arranged.  Getting sick of sweating it out waiting for this war to end; fail to see why Jerry doesn't pack it in.

March 18 - 29, 1945

Moved from 15S to 11S Jerry apparently getting all L7 personnel back together.  Managed to get a middle bunk, much better than sleeping on the floor.  Worse luck been put in charge of a section dishing out rations.
