Forbidden WWII Diary

Leading aircraftman (LAC) Charles Francis (Frank) Stone (1923-2001), my father, wrote this Forbidden Diary (i.e. they'd been told NOT to keep diaries and the fact that it exists tells you all you need to know), as a 21 year old in 1944. (Entries are transcribed exactly as written, mistakes included. Attitudes are very much 'of their time'.)

As you will see, the diary came to an abrupt end on January 2, 1945 and I have no idea where the unit went next, however, I have to include this last photo that was amongst the family photos. On the back, in my father's handwriting, it just says "In Germany."
