A fine morning but cloudy.
Last night was fairly quiet.
Since we came to this camp we have been able to buy fresh cows milk from a Frenchman who passes every morning. He charges 6d a dixie & does a good trade with the troops. I often get some and thoroughly enjoy it. It makes good sap when the bread is steeped in it. We were issued with new shirts & underpants & socks in exchange for dirty ones. Yesterday I did some washing so I have now a clean rig out.
[One line of shorthand – I wrote to my wife this evening. Letter 132. 3 pages]

Cold, cloudy & windy.
I finished reading "Chums of the Past Watch" by Harry Campbell, a tale of cadets on board a training ship.
This evening I finished reading a detective story by William Le. Lucre entitled "Inspector Whitlock" Bothe these books are short stories, but very interesting & they fill in the long evenings.
Today has been very quiet.
Saturday June 15. 1918. 1411
A dull cloudy morning but fine. Last night was again quiet.
Jack Boon came back a couple of days ago after being away at the Base in a V.D. hospital. It cost him 18 guineas in loss of pay.
