Friday 18th
Out with cable wagon as No. 8. This is an easy job as you have to stay at place where they start to lay cable to be ready to look for a fault should one occur. There was a fault in the afternoon & I had to saddle up & go out. My horse was rather frisky so I was not able to proceed very fast. When I tested the line the second time I found it working well so returned.
Saturday 19th
Mess orderly today so am having time to write. Rather fine today after continuous showery weather we have been having for last 4 days. Busy all day with mess orderly duties and retired early for a change.
