do not think I ever felt like this before thank goodness the Bat was away. when I got here, my nerves were gone to pieces with the rushing about London etc. Hope that £10- arrives soon owe £3- out of it to Parkes. don't know what he will think of my using his money although he told me to do so if I wanted it. Batl will be back tomorrow night.
Huns Bombed Hazebruk last night at 12 & shelled it at 4 this morning from 18 miles away Killed some women & children & wounded a few.
Friday 10/8/17
Boys came in today & the place is noisy again, Paid Parks 10/- owe him 50/- letter from Viv which he sent before I left for England. Got a bad posy for sleeping in here the one before was between a Pig house & Calf House, this has been used by cows & hens. Nice & fine today. Taubes bombed a place about 5 kilos from here trying to get an amunition factory or dump. This morning - shelled Hazelbruk again, supposed to have killed 70 Tommies in a hospital yesterday and some civilians also wounded some ausy's. Aeroplanes about all day & night. Stony broke again. It's awful to see the Refugies coming in carrying all they can scrape together in Bundles on their Backs & leading children likewise, also some with carts full of furniture & Bedding etc. from Hazelbruk.
