Tuesday 20 November 1917
Maxwell ward 7.30 a.m. Same round of work, beds & dressings. One pt. had bullet removed from chest (local anaes.) & lying on surface. Told me casually that in dressing another pt. the bullet passed through pt's head & entering the unimpired man's chest took a downwards course for about 4 inches where it lay just under the skin.
3 p.m. went to No. 14 A.G.H. & saw Marge & Cobbie then Dick. Latter says 2 years since he heard a woman's voice!! Evening duty Matron did rounds with me & told her friend I was the naughty girl who ran a high temp. for some days, etc.
Wrote report 1st & sent note to Matron. Off 8.10 p.m. Now that I know them I like the sisters here & tone of the hosp. generally. Raining at intervals & cool.
