SEPTEMBER 1916 - REHABILITATION

Friday 1st

My first appearance on Gym Parade. It is a bit of scream. Pay day to day. Drew 10/-

Saturday 2nd

It is a treat to be finished with depot parades for a day. Glad to get a rest from such ceremony. Took a stroll down to the sea front after tea.

Sunday 3rd

After Church Parade we had a bit of a thunderstorm. But it blew over after dinner but the rest of the day it has been very windy.

Monday 4th

Rained to night. I got slightly wet. So returned & went into the Sgts mess & spent the evening playing solo whist.

Tuesday 5th

On Picquet to day. Running around from morning to night.

Wednesday 6th

Tried to learn dancing to night but did not make much of a success at it.

Thursday 7th

No entry

Friday 8th

Sgts dance to night. I went & stayed about 4 hrs. Got back soon after 12 o’clock. They kept the dancing up until 2 o’clock.

Saturday 9th

Met Ethel & Lottie after dinner. After tea I took them for a walk. Went to the top of the hill on the road to Alfriston. From the hill had a lovely view over the valley.

Sunday 10th

I went to Brighton to day. Got a pass until midnight. Saw them off at 7.30 then returned home. The char a banc broke down when we reached Newhaven. So I did not get back very early.

This was the final entry for 1916
