Monday 27 May 1917 [1918]
Sultan paid his first to Alex. & great & gaudy decorations are in the streets, crowds of people, very cosmopolitan of course.
Went 19th G.H. 11.30 a.m., saw C.O. & discharged & to return 27th G.H. on Friday, 31st. Shock is too much for me to speak so say, "yes Capt." & retire. Walked down Rue Rosette then gharry to Red X home, lunch, then Khedivial Hotel, met S. Roberts, bathe Stanley Bay & lovely sunset. News of transport torpedoed 12 m.n. yesterday, & although over 1 hr. sinking men drowned.
Letters from Mith, Nell, 3 boys, Eva, E. Brown, Kantara. Home news still tragic as regards H.F. otherwise well. Bathed in S. Bay 9 a.m., lovely fresh days.
