Monday 15 July 1917 [1918]
My last day of GT x & x & 60 odd pts. 9.30 a.m. sent for & told night duty tomorrow. 4.30 p.m. told night duty tonight, good management? No sleep & very little rest as had to pack etc. Attacked by Miss G. & to leaving V.A.D. Dalzeel on 5-8 duty though Miss Cheetham gives permission, hopeless muddle with 2 women ruling & Miss G. speaks to me as though I were something in utter disgrace. After all the different women I've been in hosp. with to meet one like this is to say the least trying & she has no sense of humor, so we shall never understand one another. On duty officer's ward 8 p.m., 26 pts. all nice & none ill beyond malaria, dysentery, fractures, etc. 6 am. brings 2 "flying men", one dead on adm. the other fractured arm & cut face, one Cowen dead, 22 yrs. other, Lt. Taylor, 23. Very tired & depressed & sleep the sleep of the very weary.
