The mess business turned out all right. Riding School & signalling morning. Had leave all the afternoon till 10.45 night. Went to Arlseford by car to visit the fete which was held for Red Cross. Was not much of a show. The grounds of the house where they had the show was very pretty. The village of Arlseford is a slow show, but with plenty of pubs. Some of the boys & myself got slightly mixed & our car did not turn up & had to walk 5 lovely miles to camp. Arrived home out of breath. Had a shower & slept well.

Saw some girl home named Evelyn & afterwards walked up on the camp road. Arrived back tired. Had a shower & went to bed.
