22nd June 1940

The weather today has been terrible! Torrential rain has been beating a steady tattoo on the decks and low-hanging grey clouds have given a general air of depression. The sea too, has been getting a little rougher.

France has apparently signed the armistice, but the terms are not yet out. Gosh! Things have happened in this 3 months that I have been away.

Excepting for the number of code messages we have to take down, you wouldn’t know there was a war on out here; well there isn’t I suppose but you know what I mean!

Poor old Mr Salway still thinks the sword of Damocles is hovering over us (or soon will be). For my part I prefer to live by the hour.

Seven more days will see the back of this last stage broken, and at the rate the days have been going by so far, it won’t be long.
