from a variety show in Poperinghe which we enjoyed very much we decided to go Bandicooting for Potatoes as there are any amount growing about, & as the supply of Potatoes from the Supply Depot is very erratic, we decided to cook our own, Bandicooting means digging down under the plants & pulling out the Potatoes, we filled nearly 2 Sand Bags in about 40" & they are very nice & we boil & fry them & we can obtain now & again a Tin of Bully Beef & make a stew for Tea also we have now toast for Breakfast & buy Cocoa which is very dear at 1 Franc 20 cent for ΒΌ lb, Sugar 2 franc 20 Cent per Kilo Condensed Milk 1 Franc 60 Centimes, Sauce at 1fr-20ct so we have cocoa for Supper. Last Monday Night 17/9/17 we knocked up a Tea from our Surplus food in our Cupboard with Potatoes, Onions & Bully Beef & had it at 4 Pm & left here at about 4.30 Pm & got a lift in by Motor Wagon & when we arrived at the Soldiers Theatre at 5 Pm. I now conclude No 2 Diary & continue on No 3.
