I went to Perham Downs on Saturday 15th June. I was re-classified & marked B.I.A.2 The Depot was situated in pretty miserable surroundings Ludgershall being the nearest town to us & it was a one-eyed place. I had my teeth fixed up & was sent to the O.T. B. where things got worse We were tormented from reveille to Retreat by the heads Having kit inspections & other ridiculous rot until we were glad to get clear of the place. I left in a draft for France on August 15th We had a good trip across & arrived at our 3rd A.D.B.D on 16th Aug
