Took some horses down to M.V.S.to be clipped today & managed to get hit on the mouth by my horses head breaking two front teeth; The Padre has had a lot of books sent to him from England & is busy tonight distributing them; Sutherland told me this morning that he is going with the 4th Mtd Bde shortly which is forming up with Johnny Meredith as Brigadier. The 42nd Div (English) went back a few days ago & it is rumoured they are going to England & then to France we still have the 52nd (Scottish) with us & glad they are left instead of the English Troops. Lindsell went in to School of Instruction at "Alex" tonight.
