The rain it raineth every day. Slush and sleet, rifles inspected, physical exercise in hut, 1 ½ mile run, drill with rifle in closed formation.
Dinner rather
poor for a surprise.
More rifle
drill in platoons and company.
Rain, which
stopped about 11am, started
again 4.10pm. Read Times.
6 new armies being formed, total 800,000 men, ready in early spring. We’ll make
them jump. Good tea. Played footer. 3 chess games, won all. Oldale says was
report in Green Un re 20 out of 30 in hut being chess players. 8pm went into Y.M.C.A. hut.
Exceedingly cosy and attractive. Comfortable chairs and small tables to write
on. Splendid piano. Sing-songs. Chap VII, Lodge, “Revelation of Christ”. Opportunity for painful service as test, e.g. Christ. His
coming foretold. Everything we understand is orderly, in design and structure.
Was this war? Wonder what good.
