   Left page 

  On 24th I got a photo from Otto

  in Motveane and a letter from

  A. Saying that she is waiting

  for me about April to come. 

  I think she must wait two

  more months, and perhaps 

  then war is over.

    To-day a Latrine was going 

  round: we are going to Ostende 

  Hindenburg is going to fill

  water in the former Seine

  front, then he needs have

  the men there to hold the 

  line, and we make offensive

  from up there. A nice

  news but if it comes

  that way? Never mind! It

  gives us once more hope.

  And that's just what we

  need.

  26.3.17 Schull. Regen. Kalt.

  Morning as usual. Afternoon

  very busy. 2 o'clock to Hilaire

  to get some things left by

   Right page 

  evacuated civils. Returning home

  I received a whole bread. I ate

  half of it right away. Washed 

  some washing. Went out for wood.

  Water cleaned my books. Toasted

  bread. Made fire. Read my 

  book from Anna Karenina. 

  and wrote a letter to Ally. 

  Received printing paper from 

   Hoh + Habue . Outside it is

  raining. Our chief or boss went 

  in Stelling this morning. I

  am going to sleep alone as his

  help or groom went with him.

  Master of arms came back from 

  Ledau, he was at O. A. B. They were

  all glad to hear from us. Telling

  that other soldiers who had been

  there, were very bad. Stole horses

  and rabbits. So they kept us

  as good remembrance in her

  mind. As usual.

  27.3.17 Bedeckler timid - Regenschauer

  All alone nobody here but me.
