My temperature was very high 98.6 last night & 99 this morning. I was given some medicine & felt alright this afternoon.
To day I am 1 year in the army. There is very little war news in Mondays papers to hand. Artillery has been active on both sides in the neighbourhood of Ypres, and the enemy have been driven out of Beaumetz. Our troops have occupied Roisel, 7 miles east of Peronne.
