Sunday 29/4/17
Very nice day. Lined up after parade for Voting – Legislative Assembly.
Monday 30/4/17
Rather a hot day – Went down to Fricourt and had a bath. Got the afternoon off & went into Albert, all the Estaminets have been closed by the Military for some reason – so was disappointed at not being able to get a good feed. Went to the Anzac Coves Show at night & quite enjoyed it – not too bad.
Tuesday 1/5/17
Very hot & sunny. Drilling & many lectures, Gas etc. 8th & 14th F. Ambulance called back up the line – cant make out how we missed.
Wednesday 2/5/17
Sunny & hot – all fatigues & drill ceased at 11.30 am. Had the day off, running off heats etc for Divisional sports. We had wrestling on horse back – pillow fighting etc. I won my first heat in the wrestling although I was nearly pulled to pieces.
