the rippingest ward of the rippingest hospital in Blighty. We have a piano and lounge to ourselves, and the nurses come in every afternoon or evening to play or sing. Two other wards have also a piano apiece.

We each have different coloured slippers and dressing gowns. Warren wheeled me in spinal chair to Church (Hall)

Was wheeled down to the town by Waghorne thence to Howard's to be X rayed. 2 plates of back and 1 of left leg taken.
