16.4.15
Fri. 16th. Brigade day, were out early & had to fight a sham with the New Zealanders. This Regt. was annihilated; arrived back in Camp at 2 oclock, after having a very easy days work. Had no bayonet exercises this morning. After tea I went to Head Q. lines & found a lad from the Infantry had turned up, & wanted to fight Conway. He apparently has a screw loose, & goes by the name of "knock out" Smith; all the infantry boys he has sparred with went "out" to him. As Conway is not boxing tonight I obliged his mates who brought him over, & went "out" to him in 2nd round. It caused the best sport we have had.
