15 Thursday
A very fine day. Went on route march in morning for about 3 miles, passing through very fine country. Got paid £ 2 in afternoon. Went down to the village in evening. I notice that only one furrow plough is in use here drawn by 2 horses. There are plenty of Tommies here, especially the Army Service Corps.
16 Friday
A beautiful day, weather seems to be getting on the warmer side since our arrival here. Owing to having a very sore heal I was unable to go on parade. Walked into Tidworth in evening & came back in a motor car. Got some camera requisites. Nearly everyone has a cold.
17 Saturday
Inspected by Mr Andrew Fisher & party Gen. Moore this morning. Getting very good food here (its as good as at home)
We are allowed 5½ d a day by Australian Gov. for food. Done some printing (Photos) in afternoon. Played cards until bed time.
18 Sunday
Went over to Cholderton in the morning & took a few snaps. Went on a route march to Ludgershall (a distance of 7 miles) in afternoon & had quite an enjoyable time.
