Thursday

Up at 6.30 a.m. scratch breakfast of bully & bread. We get wretchedly fed up here. One gets very weak on the tucker provided. The difficulty of getting dry to cook even tea is great & mostly we have to go without Get off on our long walk to the lines. 4 miles over a sea of mud. Arrive thoroughly fagged out & take ½ day to recover. Awful accommodation. dugout ankle deep in mud & leaky as collander. Set to work & try improve domicile. Bullocking work dragging moved iron over mud. Tired & we all are.
