  About 1 hour at it when our poor hands

  were covered with Blisters & when the

  time came to finish we were not sorry

  as we were about done up. About 7 o-clock

  at night we heard that some intelligent

  person had lost a pick & all the company

  had to turn out to find it after about

  an hours search we managed to find it buried

  underneath some earth. I myself had the

  honour of being about ½ mile away when it

  was found. To night also Joe Routeledge

  managed to lose a Bolt of his rifle a

  very serious crime in the army & the

  excitement was very great for about 2

  hours when it was found. Some joke

  loving person had hid it in his blankets

  so that was another piece of excitement

  to put down to Maymyo.
