Location
Albany - USA
Age
17 Years

14th August 1940

We arrived here in Albany at about 9am. I was pretty tired so I went to my bunk for a bit. In the evening I went ashore with Harries, the other cadet, on the understanding that he kept on the “straight and narrow”. To get to the town, we had to go through a negro, and half-cast section. Here we were accosted several times, and asked to give money, but it was no go!

On reaching the town, we had a good look round and decided that it wasn’t a bad place. Then we went to the pictures and saw “Tom Brown’s School Days”, and “I Love Again”. Both were very good films and screamingly funny. In all it was a pleasant evening.
