  Left the Descado & was not sorry

  to go. Entrained for Calcutta. We

  had tea at a small station called

  Catpuri but arrived before the Bread

  was ready & had to make shift with

  a lump of tinned meat in one hand

  & a mug of tea in the other. We

  slept in the train no one laying down at all

  sitting up.

   

  Dec 4th 1914

  Arrived & had breakfast as a small station

  called Shegoon but was the same as at

  Catpuri  no Bread so again had to be

  Content with meat & tea.

  --

  Arrived at a small place called Badneri

  here they had managed to get prepared for

  us & we had a rare tuck in off stewed

  meat & potatoe, bread jam & tea the Best
