Monday 13th. Aug.
Things now very brisk in the ambulance in the way of drill & training. We have been so long out of the line that the officers are looking round for something to do & the unit actually was deteriorating. The Co. has now taken a grip on things in general and everyone has to attend all parades & drill, route marches, etc are the order of the day. The result will be good even if 'tis irksome. This morning we had Gas drill & inspection of helmets in which latter they utilised my services as usual. In the afternoon we had a lecture, the usual style & then I had a run into St Omer on one of the cars I have had to move out of my billet, apparently I was too comfortable or else they thought I was too far from their influence, however I had to leave & take up my quarters in a loft with the others. The colonel is evidently trying to hand over a very smart ambulance to his successor.
