Thurs- April 22nd 1915
To day we came off Guard & as Thursday
is considered a holiday the only parade we had was
marched down to the Hospital for Quinine. This parade is
getting simply rotten as we have it twice a week &
after each dose we always have 24 hours sickness &
vomit it all up again untill it seems to me to do
us more harm than good, besides costing us 3 annas
each time for chocolate to take the taste out of our
mouths & then you lie the rest of the day completely
done up
Friday April 23 1915
To day after doing the usual parades four of us
decided to go to the top of the Great Pagoda Hill.
The first stage we came to in the great staircase
& to the top there are about 12 stages each taken
about 100 steps to reach was a kind of picture
room in this room will be about 200 or 300 paintings
& each painting is the same subject what they
would like to do to the white people
