Friday, 16 February 1917

Fine & dull all day, but came on a bit showery at night. Cleaning harness all morning & out exercising in afternoon. They are starting to fool round again & make everything for show.   We have to wear gas masks, bandoliers ect. out exercising now. They are hurling the Tommies down our throat at all possible occasions; the Tommies do this & the Tommies do that so why dont you do it. I never want to see a pommie after the war.

The battery was called out about 7 pm to take up ammunition & we were fooling about. I did not get back till 3 AM.   Nobody seemed to know anything about the stuff, & when we got unloaded nobody knew were we were to load again.
