January, 1916
Monday 10
A lot more Machine Gunners expected in some time today & I am told I will have to take a class.
About 5 pm they arrive in hundreds & the work of putting them into tents & getting them some grub took up several hours.
They are in a bad way in regards to clothing & money.

Tuesday 11
I am given a squad of 20 men from the 6th Bde M.G. Secs.
The first day is very trying But after getting into the swing of things it comes quite easily.
