Dear Jess,<\/p>\n

Will probably be moving off tomorrow for the Jesseltown area which I should manage to cover in a week.\u00a0 I have 7 or 8 possible subjects up my sleeve now, so what with that trip & a week or ten days at Balik Papan (Bally P ‘parn’ to you, mug).\u00a0 I should have enough stuff to satisfy “The Weekly”.\u00a0 I see no good purpose served by just hanging around sight seeing.\u00a0 What really takes up the time here is transport which is slow & varied.\u00a0 I intend to visit a Dyak (the indigenous native) village on the way back to Labuan.\u00a0 I should be home in 4 or 5 weeks.\u00a0 Am having a loaf this afternoon and shall perhaps take in a swim later.\u00a0 Spent an extremely hot morning trying to paint a blown up workshop which now houses the field bakery.\u00a0 Had the usual horde of sightseers clustered around me.\u00a0 They did not worry me as much as the difficulties encountered in the attempt to paint under the tropical sun.\u00a0 Sweated like a pig all the morning and am now in a semi coma.\u00a0 This climate is enervating enough – turns me into a sort of lean Tommy Moon.<\/p>\n

I’d do a shot of spine bashing only that I would be awake half the night!<\/p>\n

Tuesday 6 pm.<\/h6>\n
[31 Jul 1945]<\/h6>\n

Have just finished a tea of sorts (we have it at 5.30, which is really about 4 o’clock) and am sitting in solitary state in my own tent watching a sudden tropical downpour, complete with thunders & lightenings.\u00a0 I sit and contemplate the muddy foreground.\u00a0 The uncountable puddles making it nearly as wet as the Limbang River which flows past just a hundred yards away.\u00a0 I am not back at Labuan yet although I intent to return there tomorrow.\u00a0 On the advice of those who know I sidetracked myself to the village of Limbang – a 1 1\/2 hours barge run from Brunei.\u00a0 It was worth the visit alright.\u00a0 Here one sees the natives of Borneo, the head hunting Dyak, in their real state.<\/p>\n

\"[Study,<\/a>
[Study, Dyak warrior, Limbang area, Sarawak I]<\/figcaption><\/figure>By God, they’re magnificent people.\u00a0 It is hard to associate their grace & beauty with their bloodthirstiness.\u00a0 The extraordinarily feminine features of the young men must be seen to be believed.\u00a0 They are small but wonderfully proportioned – with their long hair, reaching down to the bottom of their shoulder blades, or done up in a pointed bun at the back.\u00a0 They wear too a jet black fringe across the forehead and beaded throat bands.\u00a0 Great big earrings, or rather decorative plugs in their ears.\u00a0 Silver bangles run riot on their forearms, & above the calf of the leg (a wonderful leg too, me girl!).\u00a0 Blue green tatooing’s on the throat & shoulders – and a colorful loin cloth sits comfortably alongside the sharpest of swords.\u00a0 Two of the kids, one about 14, the other about 17 were bloody beautiful.\u00a0 I shan’t try to draw them for you as I couldn’t do them justice.\u00a0 I took some photos of them late in the evening – I hope they come out alright.\u00a0 Chinese & Malays wander up and down the only street all day long.\u00a0 Some good lookers too, by gum.\u00a0 The army crimes anyone found indulging in hanky panky with the native population.\u00a0 The women marry early & have a child every year.\u00a0 For every couple there must be an average 4 or 5 kids, and this by the time the woman is 22.<\/p>\n

\"Taking<\/a>
Barge at Limbang<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Have been sitting reading in the bottom of this barge for Labuan.\u00a0 Three dreary hours have just passed – the first 2 in a hazy somnolent stupour against my packs and dripping from every pore beneath the sweltering sun.\u00a0 There is absolutely nothing to look at from the bulwarks above – just the same sea, lazily waving in the same patterns as it did twenty miles back.\u00a0 In the distance the same casual pale blue line of hills.\u00a0 We are due to land at Labuan in an hour and a half.\u00a0 I look forward to the landing at it means getting out of this dreary hot box – and most important – there should be some mail from you darling, awaiting.<\/p>\n

Labuan<\/h6>\n
Thursday<\/h6>\n
[2 Aug 1945]<\/h6>\n

Things ain’t just what they should be.\u00a0 No mail and no transport out of here tomorrow – which means a day wasted in sitting on my rear and grinding my teeth with sheer impotency.<\/p>\n

We are in a new camp, a pleasant enough spot under the palms & facing the beach, but miles from any blasted where I could do some work.\u00a0 Alan Dawes, Smyth, and Adams, are on the way home.\u00a0 Only Cliff remains.<\/p>\n

The only thing to do is to try and get some of the clammy sweat out of my clothes.\u00a0 I have been getting around too much to be able to get them washed.\u00a0 Looks like a cold water lick for them this morning.<\/p>\n

Mail goes out shortly so bulletin will be cut to short issue.\u00a0 The boys tell me that the mail has been delayed so I will not go into hysterics yet.\u00a0 Today 3 weeks since I left Sydney and no news from the home front.<\/p>\n

All rather grim not knowing how you & Bub are getting along.<\/p>\n

Lots of love<\/p>\n

Bill<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wrote a poem of sorts while spine bashing at Kuala Belait.<\/p>\n

They are my clothes hanging there<\/h6>\n
Limp in the Borneo sun<\/h6>\n
And threaded on a sagging rope.<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I can accept the flat green leaves<\/h6>\n
Gently swaying as the hawk<\/h6>\n
Who sails above the swish of surf<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I can accept the bare chested soldier<\/h6>\n
His stained fag hanging from his lips<\/h6>\n
While he ties his singlet on the line<\/h6>\n
With string<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I can accept the drifting mountain cloud<\/h6>\n
Of rolling oil fire smoke<\/h6>\n
Which canopies the sea<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I can accept the clanking of the pans<\/h6>\n
The cook without enthusiasm<\/h6>\n
Washes in the hot and chlorinated water<\/h6>\n
<\/h6>\n
I can accept the butterfly<\/h6>\n
Who flutters wavy and but once<\/h6>\n
Past the tents vee shaped pane of light<\/h6>\n
