  To day although in such a delapidated  &

  Dirty condition we were in the Best of

  spirits & we knew this was the last day of

  our journey.  I cannot say that we marched

  on this day we did not it was a complete

  run all the way & when we reached our

  Bungalows which we did about 11-30 I

  must say it was just like getting back

  home again. The First thing we did was

  to have a good bath & I must say it

  was simply Glorious & Then During the

  afternoon we were told we had to have

  Wednesday & Thursday holiday so we finished

  in the very best of spirits & none the

  worse for one Fortnight’s Manoevers

  but I must say that the best reward of

  all was to get back into our little beds

  which we did very early & was not very long

  before we were asleep as we had had practically

  none for three nights.
