12 September 1940.

It was already getting dark when we arrived at the place. The unbearable heat was begin to fade and from the west began to blow a chilly breeze. While some soldiers began to set up an encampment, I explored the local vicinity. I saw some ruins of ancient buildings. In the background were fragments of worn out blocks with a distinctly narrow passage, leading downwards. I felt my skin crawl with fear and realised this was where we were heading!
