29 Thursday
Paid £ 2 pound in afternoon, being paid 13/0 overpaid & my word it is just the time it was needed too, as there is a rumor to the effect that we are getting 5 days leave from Monday next.
A new Warrant Officer arrived from Harefield Hospital, he seems to be very strict, & it is what's needed here, to cut out the Keystone ways they have here. Rained during the evening. All that went on leave Monday last returned.
30 Friday
We have to start & go right through our drill again, so today we again started on elementary squad & section drill. Owing to the new W.O. things have somewhat changed, such as falling in in five minutes earlier & on a private section parade ground & marching on to the original parade ground. It was a beautiful day. Went to Cholderton in evening.
1 July Saturday
Had to go before the board to show reason why I shouldn't pay cost of knife, fork, spoon, but owing to these being unissued I got off. Playing cards until tea time. Went down to Tidworth in evening & got some films, later going to the vaudeville at the barracks theatre & my word it was very hot too.
2 Sunday
Detailed for duty in sergeants mess. Went for a walk & took some photos of old trenches etc. in afternoon later developing same. Somehow the light got in & spoilt about ½ " along the bottom of them.
