Sun Mar 7 1915

 

To day as usual we had church parade

I may say that this is a very nice break

in a very weary week to day we also were

busy packing up to go to Manoeuvers at a

small country place called Inma which we

expect to start for on Tuesday.

 

Mon Mar 8 1915

 

Inspection by the General it was just the same

as all previous Inspections a lot of palover and

commotion all for nothing all drawn up in line

and had to stand like statues untill we

were just about cramped whilst the General came

and looked at every man seperately when he had

finished we had to start & do our usual work

which we did not quite relish after standing

there for over an hour.
