27 July 1918 Saturday (Whole page crossed out)
Last night a wire came from General Chauvel congratulating me on D.S.O. I sent word to the little wife to cable you- all night Cables have been coming to me & other Officers ringing me up. I am greatly bucked & it will help me to carry on & do my job. Posted notes yesterday & just had time to add the D.S.O. but it will be published in Australia & I will be found in Debretts WHOS WHO etc etc- Vanity all perhaps- but we are but humans. Went to dinner at Cavalry School Mess in Richon once the old Town Hall built by Rothschild, a nice place.
