((Great update, once again ))
August 17th, 1940
Today was a rough day at the camp. many more came in wounded... Not just Americans, but Australians with the strangest most interesting accents I have ever heard! A man came in today with no leg, it was a horrendous sight really, I and my friend Elizabeth we started working to try and stop the bleeding... There was so much blood, and in the end the man named Sergent J.H Morrison had died. I was devastated, though I did not know the man I worked so hard to save him but it was too late. I look around at all these brave faces, that are joined together to defeat fascism, but I don't know who long NATO will last in these jungles. It's hot, humid and always wet, its worse the most humid Louisiana summers! The insects are the worst, mosquito's always biting you and the creatures I see in the camp... I didn't know the Lord could create such vile things! Anyway, I must get going to sleep now the lantern is running out of oil...
