<p class="page" id="a5658032">[Page 32]</p><p>June 25. This climate as I have mentioned before plays the Duece with ones eyes, and of course if am one of the unfortunate ones who suffer. First of all they run and it looks as if one is crying. then they are scorching and burn, then they are all sticky and the dust comes along and then it's the same performance until the sun sets, At night is about the only time I can get any ease with them. I <strike>has</strike> am losing the sight of my left eye, I used to be able to go for a weeks stretch without glasses but now I cant for a minute. I have been <strike>fr</strike> to see the doctor but he is only a quack, He put <strike>Zing</strike> Zinc, sulph, (A.M.C. Name or something) drops in them but they didn't do any good, I asked him if I could see the eye specialist but he wouldn't let me. One feels, by the way one is absolutely messed about, that one would sooner be dead, In fact all say they would sooner be in the Trenches or anywhere bar this (To use our own majors words), dusty, stinky, filthy, dirty, fly blown hole, The world-famed Tel-el-Kebir is, absolutely the worst joint one could wish to strike</p>
