Went to the sand hill again today & had some good practice with the helio. but Major Smith sent a man out to tell us to come in at 2 oclock, when we arrived back in camp I found there was a message saying I had to give signalling instruction to the troops (6 men at a atime) & there was no necessity to keep the helio station going all day while the 'phone was working. so it appears our Helio Station is being cut out;
We had no natives troubling us today apparently they took Reidy's lesson to heart yesterday Mick O'Donnell was up before the Col today & received 4 days No 2 Field punishment for being in the village with the others a few nights ago, none of the others were punished but as Mick is an old offender they gave it to him; Received tunic today
