Tuesday, 8 May 1917
Raining all morning but cleared up in afternoon. Cleaning harness all morning & I went to Stenwerck for a bath in afternoon. Got another letter from Linda. There was a battery turn out at night but I did not have to go. We heard that Russia had declared a separate peace with Germany, which is the worst piece of news since the war began. I hope its not true, & can hardly believe Russia would be such a cow. Lord it will mean another five years war, & the best part of a man's life in this Godforsaken place. Anyway we have got to win & by Jove we will.
