talking to one of the Young Officers

on the parade this morning, +

he had a similar experience.

His papers were somehow lost, +

finally they permitted him to send

in a second lot. We've got a big

batch of Leeds Volunteers with us

- something like 150 - for a week's

training. You'd roar with laughing.

They have to do practice in everything

- mounting guard; bayonet fighting

etc - + as some are in civilian

clothes with stand up collars,

bowler hats etc, the result is

ludicrous in the extreme. Well,

lassie, I'm getting an expectant

feeling every day. ...The rest of the line is cut off
