  Wed. Dec. 23rd 1914
  

  To Day the weather was a bit better although

  Very dull it managed to keep fine, before

  Breakfast we had a short Drill, then had

  To turn out at 8-30 for the Route march.

  For Guide we had an officer of the Regular

  Army, we started of in the Direction of

  Maymyo & then entered some very plesent [sic]

  Country, we went right into the heart of

  The Native part of Burma. It is very

  Interesting to see the natives in the small

  Huts, they are built entirely of Bamboo

  Poles, with grass interlaced they don’t

  Possess any chimney the smoke having

  To come out of the door way. We also

  Came across a tribe of Tree Dwellers. It

  Is marvellous how the manage to

  Built there huts in the Branches of the

  Trees. We marched through some very

  plesent [sic] roads & then had to march single

  File through a very large jungle which

  Took about 2 hours the grass & twiggs
