  did a bit of shopping bought 30 cigars for 3’

  had a supper off Quaker Oats at the soldiers

  home. During one of the showers in the

  morning were marched out for firing practice

  had to Lie in wet grass on Stomachs for

  half hour, then they wonder how illness

  church Parade during morning rather

  enjoyed it. Came back & layed about until

  dinner. After Dinner went about 2 miles

  into the Jungle. Very pleasant but rather

  exciting. Magnificent trees & had to walk

  with the grass up to our necks. Saw a

  quantity of monkeys & a large snake

  but we took care it did not catch us.

  there are a great quantity of Birds of

  all colours & 1 kind of Great size which

  is called a Kite Hawk. This Bird we are

  not allowed to shoot as they are considered
