Corporal Parkinson Diary: Hong Kong (December 1941)

What kind of Boxing Day gift is this? Hong Kong gone. The whole Canadian force in the bag. All those Rifle guys from Quebec. And the Japs running wild all over the place! California being shelled. Hawaii expecting attack. Japs advancing in Malaya. And the Prince of Wales and Repulse sunk... Holy shit. As if we didn't have enough to do here already in Europe. Somebody screwed this up royally. All that bs about the Japs not having the nerve to attack the Americans and Brits. Just what the hell is going on? And I also have a hangover from that Christmas Party. Turkey was dry but the champagne was too good...

London, 26 December 1941
