Christmas Day turned out to be the coldest we have yet experienced. Although the rain held off, a bitterly cold wind had sprung up and continued throughout the day. The Airmen had their dinner at 16.00 hours and this function was attended by the O.C. and many of the Officers. In a short, suitable speech to O.C. thanked the Airmen for the manner in which they had carried out their duties and wished them a Merry Christmas. The O.C. and Adjutant, accompanied by several Officers paid visits to the other Messes throughout the day.
