4th Oct.
Major Irvine the doctor who comes around every week classifying came around this morning, he marked a good few out. When I went before him he wanted me to walk without a stick and told me to walk across the room without it. Wen I came back he said I had best use the stick and I know I had to as I carnt get about without it. He marked Repeat on my card that is to carry on with the dressings and massarge for another week. This afternoon the senior M.O. came around inspecting us but those with dressings on did'nt have to show their wounds. This Major Irvine is the hardest looking man I ever saw and he as hands like a bullock driver when he get hold of some of them with stiff joints he makes them yell with pain. I heard that one of the troops was going to knock him down the other day.
