July 17th contd 26
British officers left this camp today for presumably Frieburg. I shifted from the Frenchmans barrack to the room with Gallagher & Ingram. It is much better being here, I feel more at Home. It is quite a relief to release one's feelings at times. We three have formed a mess & pool all of our food & we are quite a happy family.
The food is prepared by us – taken to the cookhouse to be cooked by our orderly. We have Bkfast 9 am tea at 4 pm & supper at 9 pm. We draw 2 plates of tin food from parcels room daily at 10 am.
Leickler to the Infirmary today. He has a rash on him.
Invited to supper with Cull & McQuiggan, it was quite a treat to have a feed of bully beef again. To bed at 11 pm
The English communiques are translated by Capt McKenzie daily & published in a book. Joined a french class for beginners today, I am going to learn french. it is very difficult.
This camp is very spacious & it is quite a daily occurence to see officers promenarding all around the camp for exercise. There is a Physical Jerks class at 7 am daily – very few attend needless to say.
