  To day we again entered upon the old

  routine Revielle at 5-30 Before Breakfast

  we had 1 hours Phisical Drill Then Breakfast

  the had to dress for Inspection for Guard by

  the Adjutant  If you pass this Inspection you

  can consider yourselves very lucky as this

  is one of the worst we have to contend

  with.  Anyhow we managed to pass it

  all right. The Guard consists of six men

  & one Sergent Two men taking Guard at

  once of two hours stretch That is two hours

  on & four hours off. This we do untill

  9-o-clock the next morning when you are

  relieved by the next days Guard.  It is

  not a bad job except during the night

  when it is very cold & this night we as usual

  managed to have a storm which of course

  added to our discomfort.
