• December 6, 2016 11:55:44 Jake Warren

  During the afternoon we had the glorious

  task of washing the Dining Room floor although

  it was a job that none of us liked it was

  quite laughable to see all the men down on

  there knees like a lot of charwomen. After

  We had finished & got it all nicely dried

  we had the Gratification of finding that it

  was ten times worse that if we had never

  touched it so it is quite evident that we

  will never make our living by charing.

  Wed Jan 13 1915

  To day we started of with a run but

  only went about 2 miles & then Breakfast after

  Breakfast we had the usual drills. To day

  we received the unpleasant news Private

  Wilson who was taken ill on Board the

  Descado has died in Calcutta Hospital.

  the news put the Damper on everybody as

  he was a very smart young fellow.
