Morning went to Mass. Afternoon with mates walked to Figheldene [Figheldean] & saw the "Chestnut Tree". Had tea at Y.M.C.A. Hut, Durrington. Country now looking lovely all the hedges & trees being in bloom.
Mon May 21st
Morning bayonet drill & open order work. Afternoon mounted guard at 4-0 P.M. During past fortnight our men have taken Bullencourt on Western front & have stood some of the heaviest fighting in the campaign. Communal Kitchens have been opened in London & other towns for the feeding of the people. Within the past week our rations have improved considerably, previous to that they were very poor.
