Sunday, 7 January 1917

Fine & sunny. They called for six volunteers to go for a warm bath & I was one. We marched about three miles & we had a luke  warm shower, but it was the most enjoyable bath I have ever had. It was the first bath - or rather the first time I had had my clothes off for that matter since the night before I left Larkhill, ten days ago. Cleaning harness and dragging guns out into position ready to move off tomorrow morning all afternoon. I was on horse picket at night. Saw an airoplane brought down in flames in morning. Got lots of letters in afternoon & parcels, the first from home for six weeks.
