The ward 2nd next door to us is occupied by a military lieutenant (Hun, of course.)

He gives us fags etc. & we give him tea in exchange.

A decent sort, he sent home for all his old school-books on English which he gave me in order to practice up my German.

But he is addicted to Uniform. Dinkum; I met him down near the Verbandzimmer the other morning wrapped in a gorgeous flame-coloured dressing-gown, and under The Garment he had on his uniform!

23rd Mch.
Der Leutnant tells us amazing tales of a huge German offensive which began yesterday.

The Allies, so he says, are running like sheep and the war will be over in 3 months. Of course we laughed at the news while Der Leut. was in the room, but things do look glum!
