about 2 miles away across the sand, here we found 5 poor devils suffering from Sunstroke & effects of the heat, they were all unconscious – We done what we could to give them relief & brought them in two sand carts – We were just about done up ourselves – a fellow must do a job like this across the sand to really understand what a hard lot a stretcher bearers lot is. About 6.30 pm I took sick & had an awful night – had got a touch of the sun – I nearly went mad, was vomiting blood.
18/5/16 Thursday
A lot cooler – I felt very weak – Drilling till 9 am – Then went for a swim – The Tent next to us are always arguing with each other – they got into holts to day & one fellow had two stiches put in his eye & another was out for a long time, having been hit with a tent mallet – Charley Chaplin knock out was not in it.
