Tuesday 6th August
Up at 7 A.M. for parade but ordered to stand by. Another parade at 10 A.M. when the men were allotted to jobs but there will be nothing for me to do until the stunt starts as there are plenty of dispensers. Mooned away the rest of the day & wrote a letter, went for a stroll in the evening. The Sgts live very well here, the mess being first rate having plenty of vegetables etc.
Wednesday 7th August
