Dull, raining. Mess orderly. Porridge and bacon for brekker. Parade 10.40. Stiff. Everyone tired. Acted as flanker scout in open drill with sections extended.
Afternoon,
raining, physical exercise in hut under Townsend. Simpson showed us new one,
arms locked on floor, pull head over heels. Pulled Howard and Draycott. Also
some wrestled Cumbrian style, hands clasped.
After break
bayonet drill under Sgt. Mjr. Costello. Point downwards to man in trench, pull
out by shortening under rt arm. When parry and too close to enemy, can shorten
over rt arm. Still drizzling, heavier and heavier, in huts, cleaned rifle.
Sing-song round piano (Camp
Songs 1/6) after tea.
Evening in Y.M.C.A.I., beat Stables, lost of Copplestone at chess.
