[Monday 27 March]

It is very cold, there is about 2 inches of mud underfoot & it has been raining off & on all day. We go down to the inn after parade hours & sit by the stove & yarn or play cards, keeping up the supply of liquid refreshments all the time. You could have a good night out for 1/-. for beer only costs 1[indecipherable], wine 1 ½ & liquer 2[indecipherable]. You can drink all night & not get drunk as all the drinks are very light.

I am coming on very well with my French & have very little difficulty in making myself understood.

Our parade hours are very long. Reveille at 6.15 A.M parade 6.45 to 7.15. breakfast 7 A M   Parade 9 to 11.30 A M. Dinner 12. parade 1.30 to 4.30.
