June 28th
The German radio announced that their armies would be in Alexandria on the 6th and in Cairo by the 9th. Someone at the office said that, if that was so, the end of the âshooting matchâ was in sight. Dudley Barker gallantly remonstrated, âOh no, we should have to stop them somewhere else.â The front lines are so near that the journalists go up to the battle for the day.
June 29th
The Germans have announced the fall of Mersa Matruh. All army and air force personnel must remain indoors after 8 oâclock. Cairo, at last, seems in a state of alarm with queues outside the banks and crowds milling in front of the shops that sell luggage. Rumour is rife: forty tommy guns were found in a priestâs house. In offices everyone is busily burning documents: black charred pieces of paper drift down from the chimneys â a storm of black cinders, a hail of funeral confetti; the air thick with a pungent, peppery smell of burning. Out of doors there are more braziers heaped with piles of smouldering paper.
