evacuated. Things in general fairly quiet even in the air as the offensive up north is still going strong. We are still going back up there & it hurts to read that Baillieu & such places are now in the hands of the enemy.
B section will in future attend to all gas cases so things will not be quite so heavy.
Friday 19th April
Stayed in bed all day under orders & the Major came down to see me. Felt much improved in the evening so got up had a wash & shave but fear that I overdid it as I don't feel as well now. Will try & get up tomorrow. Still no mail, yet most of the others have received them. Fritz still pushing up north & I believe that we have lost Passhendaele & Messines Ridge. What lives we lost taking those places last year heaven only knows & now they are gone in a moment. Gas casualties still heavy mostly through our chiefs being careless or their officers and for which they will be hauled over the coals.
