  Wed April 15 1915

   

  To Day we were out of Bed at 5-o-clock &

  had Breakfast at 6.- after that we had our

  things to pack & rope on the carts which were

  being craven by 25 Mule Corps a native

  regiment we then fell in & marched out

  of Barracks at 8-15 accompanied by the

  band which played. Will yer no come

  back again & I hope before it is our time

  to go back to Maymyo we are well on

  our way to England.  After about 5 miles

  the Band left us & returned to Maymyo &

  we continued our journey I can’t say that

  we saw any thing very interesting on the

  first days journey every thing was just the

  same as we have seen on many other

  occasion but at last we reached our first

  stop at a place called Thitnapah here we

  stayed all night the worst about this place

  was that it was impossible to have a wash

  except in a very dirty stream but we

  managed all right with a mud bath
