<p>[Page 64]</p><p>Trial Bay, January 2, 1916. On the 25th of Dec. I received an advance of 30 shillings (30 M) from our agent. On Christmas Eve, courtesy of the government (canteen), each internee was given a few nuts and fruit, and every 3 men got 2 bottles of lager beer, and on Christmas Day each got a piece of cake. Also, on Christmas Eve we were served a special dinner of veal with potatoes and green beans, fish and pea soup with bacon. We had put up a Christmas tree in the canteen and we sang and played Christmas carols. On New Year's Eve we were allowed to buy half a bottle of beer each and to stay up until 1am.</p><p>[In margin] K. 1/10/ </p>
