A SOLDIER’S DIARY

way there. Practice from 10am till 11.30am. 9 to 10 was utilised for bathing etc. Battalion parade at 1.30pm. Practice from 2pm till 3.50pm. Letter from Harry Powell today. He is well. Xmas leave for the troops will be 50 per cent. The draft that just came back from leave are not now going to France and I suppose they won’t be getting Xmas leave. ................
