Nice day – but very cold also at night – went to Mass at 10.30 – by Father Gilbert. All confined to billet area – as I expected after last night – I managed to sneak out along the river as I have marked on a post card – Struck a lot of 59th Boys in an a Estaminet – also some French fellows who could play & sing – had a good old sing song – Got a snap taken of myself all dirty – etc just as I came from Rifle Villa yesterday – they are breakups – owing to the Division moving all mail is hung up – just managed to get some of the snaps thro to Frank.

Very cold day – Our Section on Fatigues & still confined to Billet area. Had read out on parade about voting on conscription – Amused ourselves most of the day by stump electioneering speeches for & against, very funny. Most of the boys got out after tea & got merry & it is only a rumour things were not gay till the small hours – all determined to have a bit of fun if going to be confined.
