Lookg. on condition of blankets & general dug-out we exist in. I'm satisfied that the second line of A.M.C. is disgustg. & kept atrocious. Still feelg. lousy. Went over to Indian Camp in eveng. & got some chapadies (?) which went down well with marmalade. Slept outside but still have intruders!

Got up feelg. exceptionally dirty & also something else. Havn't washed for weeks & feel absolutely disgustg. My hands are grimy even. Won't I have someth'g to say about the A.M.C. when I get back! P.Cs. to Ede, Mater, Ray & Alb. All the others go to Mudros except me.
