Yesterday we heard that some of our ships have had an encounter with the enemy & has sunk one of their ships. Those that took part were the Lion, Tiger, New Zealand, Princess Royal & Indomitable. All battle cruisers.

Yest. morning I was off & went to the cathedral where was matins, followed by a late celebration as it was St. Paul’s day. I stopped for it, not having been to church for 3 Sundays.

Was very weary at end of the day.
