Sept 7th Friday
Came off Guard 9 am this morning. The five of us volunteered to take it on every second day permanent, but we were not allowed.
A boat roll of about 180 was picked this morning. I was not on it. It is supposed to be orderlies to go back on a hospital ship, so I am not sorry I was not on it.
Went on my first route march in this camp this afternoon, & my word I was tired when I came home. We went to Easton & back. Rather a long way for a march.
We are having very fine weather now.
Saturday Sept 8th
Went to Easton again on a route march. We didn't go so far as we did yesterday.
Everybody is expectant of a boat roll about the 16th of this month.
Had a look round the Portland jail this afternoon. We couldn't go in though.
Sunday Sept 9th
Very misty & raining. Went to church in the Gym this morning. Played cards (Bridge) all the rest of the day. When leave is granted to Weymouth now, you have to be fallen in & marched to Portland where you are put in the train.
