Sunday 23rd Fairly busy during the day. Weather mild, sunshine, rain etc. with sea rougher toward evening. Promenading on deck the lads formed a long queue in fours & marched around & around.

The girl has W.A.A.C on her shoulders whilst the boys have battalion colours, service stripes, rank, medal ribbons etc, all over them. Many sick after tea, the ship pitching a good deal.
