The Diary of Dorothy Priest
August 6th
Nothing much has happened today. They say our fleet is XXXXX for the Germans and chasing them near Sheringham and that a battle is imminent. If only we can win a great victory the sooner we fight the better. We are in the right. “Thrice is he armed that has his quarrel just” [Henry VI part 2]. They say there is to be plenty of food if only people won’t get frightened. Liege was still holding out this morning. We and the French have captured 15 or 16 German ships. The Colonies are helping splendidly. We seem to almost forget this is only the 2nd day of war in England. Yesterday morning seems such a long time ago.
