• December 3, 2016 22:32:30 Sue Bryant

  Everything we possess brass work Equipment

  Rifle Bayonet etc on account of being

  inspected by the Guvenor of Burma.  We

  had a very good day washing etc we

  looked like a lot of charwoman washing

  & scrubbing & when we had finished we

  had had all our trouble for nothing

  as things looked no better ,except us

  were all half dead with the heat which

  is very bad during the day although it

  Is very cold at night & we have to

  cover ourselves up well with extra

  blankets & overcoats.

  --

  Dec 14th 1914

  To Day we had another heavy

  day as we were drilling nearly all day

  & cleaning the rest on account of Tuesday

  which is beginning to get on our nerves

  as as usual we will have to stand

  out in the heat to please the heads who

  of corse do not consider the man.
