Kay Darling:

Air attack at daybreak. Shot down 2 planes. We are supposed to take on ammunition today. I wonder??

Noon and no ammunition yet. Trapped??

Weather hotter than the devil o Approximately 115 0 •

Air attack at sunset repulsed.

I am getting tired of spending most of the day and all night in this hot gun tub waiting for Jap planes.

Where in the —- is the ammunition lighter?

Everything seems to be going wrong.
