Battalion rations far superior.
Monday 25th A quiet doubtful day. Some of our number sent to convalescent camp this morning. Kept in suspense regarding England till 5 p.m., then the issue of additional clothing for boat trip cleared away all doubt. Cap comforter cardigan jacket and warm socks provided for journey. Met a young chap called Allen Lindsay. He is a son of Lindsay late of Victorian Railways. He is being sent up for medical board.
Came across another mate in my own battalion Disher son of a S.M. at Mordialloc, he hopes soon to be returned to Australia being one of the originals. Joe is now quietly smoking my cigarette issue in bed. What a contrast, those snow white sheets that coal black head. He has been exceptionally happy today.
Tuesday 26th Still improving. Exceptionally cold all day. Still waiting for that ticket. Tomorrow should see me clear of this place.
Wednesday 27th At 4 a.m. we are awakened for our morning wash. At 5 a thermometer is thrust into our mouths. At 7 we dine.
