' ... foul morning ... altogether rotten. I came up for breakfast to find everyone feeling sick, & nothing to eat. After some time I partook of a frugal meal, in the middle of which Control Parties was sounded off ... Frightfully thrilling. I had nothing at all to do during the afternoon so I sat in the Gun Room & read.'
