Monday
Last night all the patients who were able to get about w/out assistance were installed in a large camp of bell tents (about 10 in a tent) which for men in all stages of mutilation is not good business.
For breakfast we were treated to a boiled egg & piece of dry bread & a dixie mess tin of tea which we drank & had filled about 3 times (a mouthful each) stew for dinner & Bread & marmalade for tea
Some talk of removing us to night but it looks too rough

Tuesday
We had a variation in diet this morning, Boiled Bacon & Bread. Bully Beef for dinner & Boiled Egg for tea so we did not do so bad.
One good thing we can get plenty of grapes here as well as chocolate etc.
Went for a stroll to Y.M.C.A. tent to get some paper & write home
A big batch go away to the Base to-day so may not be here long
The little bay is so full of shipping you could not get another fish into it.
