In fact "going on leave" is now a glorified Cooks Tour whereas before it was worse than a nightmare. Left my spare gear in the Pack Store & swapped my old hat for a new one in the clothing store, did not worry about my other gear as I had a good Uniform at Dartford.

Had dinner at the Hotel & turned in well satisfied after a yarn with an Aussie.
