Friday 31 August 1917

Bomb practice & Hotchkiss gun Class & GAS DRILL, pity something could not eventuate out of GAS to Kill SCRUB, Prickly Pears & RABBITS.

[The following paragraph crossed through.]
I read the new AWU arrived with interest. I & the wife can get a job as married Boundary Riders somewhere I hope "Apres la guerre finis". Tonight BOXING. Brigadier General RYRIE acts as Referee & gives the boys a fair go.

Feel a bit DOPEY from inoculation but a great deal fitter all round for my spell in Hospital.
