Tuesday 9th July 1917 [1918]
Last day (I fancy) of Ramadan. At sunrise a royal salute of 21 guns is fired then again on different occasions during the day & after 2 days of feasting the affair will be over for 12 months.

Bits added. Yesterday 24th, got my 1st Pt. note for 5/- or 5 piastres, rather pretty. Sovereign is now worth 14 pt. All paper money now, difficult to get change. Ordered 2 white overalls, Pt. 80 each. Splendid news from Western Front bucks everyone up & we really wonder if this old war could end soon?
