1.0.A.M. Took some of the bodies on after deck and some outside
Police Office. Whole of D. O’s flat converted temporary mortuary.
Had to keep on guns until 3.30 AM when we started on turret again.
Worse than yesterday as bodies were rigid and so not so easy to
move about. Went down into working chamber on my own to
investigate. Rather ghastly job as only has electric torch & dead
bodies all around. Foremost crews relieved us about 6.0.A.M. Kept
at guns till about 4.0.pm. when we secured. Buried dead from after
deck in evening. Very impressive service. Buried 103 bodies. Had a
night watch as Special Parties were told off and so had all night
in. Very glad to turn in as felt we needed it. Did not get much
sleep though. Passed bows of warship sticking out of water about
noon but can’t say whether it was British or German.
