  To day we again start for Mandalay

  we were out of bed at 5-30.

  Breakfast at 6-7. All in at 7- &

  march away at 7-30 nothing unusual

  happened on the journey it was just

  the usual monotonous train ride.
  

  ----------------------
  

  Arrived at Mandalay about 2-o-clock.

  & at once went into barracks lately

  occupied. by the 91st Punjabs I must

  say that these Bungalows were absolutely

  filthy & as we had to sleep on the floor

  the first thing we could do was to start

  & clean up. after about 1 hours work we

  had the Bungalows in a fairly decent

  condition, but the worst thing about it

  is that immediately opposite is a set of

  native cook houses, & it is impossible
