Friday 9th August 1917 [1918]
No. of pts. 44. Most of them Aust., dear boys all. 9 p.m., one nice boy lays a box of chocolates (such a sweet box) in my lap from the wild section. How I like the hour 8 to 9 p.m. when they crowd round for medicines & daily laughing hide the quinine bottle, hold the glass so high that I can scarcely reach it, etc.
Lt. Drummond known as "Insommnia", Lt. Macauch known as "Burly" evidently because he is so thin, Lt. Jones, Capt. Evans & Lt. W.D. Jarrett are all up & assemble on the balcony to yarn & call me out to join in. Capt. Bigg, J.T., is another nice man. Today 2 Williams went, one is a 1st Lieu. & not 21 until 17/8/18 – a sweet boy truly.
Town 5.30 p.m., Girty unable to come. Bought pr. white shoes, Pt. 110. Cairo & did tiny bit of shopping then back & late for 7 p.m. dinner.
