NOVEMBER 8th Sunday: Had a Brigade service in Parish church at 9 a.m. Very impressive. Went out to tea. Lovely service in evening. 9th: Surprise order for a route march. Did a solid 20 miles in full marching order, all kit on. Very close, countryside looked lovely. Two officers walked it, the other two rode. An average of 3¾ miles per hour maintained. Altogether I did at least 24 miles during the day. 10th: Squad & stretcher drill. Feet felt a bit sore through wearing new boots. 11th: Sent as Cpl cook to the temp’y hospital Castle Street. Went to see “The Rosary” at night very enjoyable. Had a wretched nights sleep. Told at 11p.m. that I was to return to duty. 12th: Up at 6a.m. Busy getting breakfast till 8a.m. Relief arr’d at 9.30. Rest of day off. Had a good time. Tried to smoke a pipe at night & very bad in consequence. 13th: A very wet morning. No drill parade before dinner. March out in afternoon, eight miles. Very windy. Went to choir practice at night. 14th: Nothing of importance.
