Reveille 4.15 am – General route march of the whole Division for a Field day. All our fellows excepting duties had to roll out – Ambulance transports etc. I had the day off for being on Guard during the night. Had two good swims.
3/5/16 Wednesday
Very dusty all day – Drill all the morning – we also had collection of supposed wounded, up sand hills & down the banks of the Canal – In the evening we had a medical inspection – one man was put out. They also made enquiries about our gear & the Major said he wanted us to be uniformly dressed as we would be criticised in France. All our Ambulance transport horses were commandeered by the Artillery & today we got in a draft of raw mules, talking about fun on the Bristol – any man could pick one & do his worst. I never laughed so much for a long time.
