Mon 17th. Feb Decided to get some satisfaction today. First saw the M.O. who referred me to the Senior S.M.O. a Colonel, who gave a grudging consent for my request to be sent to Fovant my proper destination. He referred me to a Captain who would arrange it. Walked ¾ miles & waited on the Captain who was sympathetic but would not do it without written authority from of the Colonel. Hurried back to him & obtained it, then had dinner. Returned to Captain & after waiting 2 hours agreed to send me to a Staff Captain for the necessary authority. Fortified with this went to Furlough officer who gave me a warrant to go. Returned to camp reported that I would be going next day. Wrote to S.M. & Co. to send my mail to Fovant also £5 as my present wealth amounts to 1½d & my paybook is in London. At night went to hear a lecture by a man who had been a prisoner in Germany, rather good.
