Monday 17 December 1917
E. Brown off for day & VA.D. (Mrs. Madden) helping. Off duty 5-8. Went 14 A.G.H., Dick unable secure pass so I must hunt for a partner for "day off" at 27 G.H. Feeling very depressed over home news about new niece's parents, surely it cannot be true as I fear that 3 lives are to be wrecked after the friendship of childhood days.
"Ah well is thee; thou are asleep!" might truly be said of our dear Father and Kath, to be spared this sadness & our little Mother in her old age to be burdened & worried so! Truly marriage is a mistake after all.
Pt. in ward has photo of rows of English dead lying for 6 months unburied (left by Turks) until the Australians came & took the position & made the Turks bury the dead in long rows.
