27/4/1916 Thursday
Had a swimming parade at 6.15 am. Drilling on the sand all the morning. We had to get up about 5 am & roll out as an airship was located, it turned out to be one of our own, so we were quite disappointed at not having a bit of fun. Had a Kit inspection in the evening, they called in a lot of stuff & only left us with a bare change – it means we shall not have quite so much to carry. Wrote to Tom O'Hagan.
Can notice the Gun Boats throwing out their search lights all around them all night.

Had two good swims – Struck tents & cleaned up the Camp – While having a swim two large boats passed thro the Canal, but women or no women on board, the lads were in stages of dress or undress, most of us swam alongside.
