  were dozens of plates mugs & bowls floating

  away down the Stream & we had to dig even

  inside the tents to let the water out. I as

  usual was lucky enough to be on Guard &

  long before I could be relieved I was

  completely wet through to the skin.

   

  Oct 23 1915

   

  To Day we have reached the End of our

  Quarantine & leave the camp to go into

  Barracks once more, we also received the

  grand news that all our things had to

  be carried down to the Barracks which

  is about a mile & a half away. For the

  first load we all got our beds on our

  backs & we looked a grand sight about

  130 men all one after the other with a

  bed on his back. After we had got

  them all down we had to go back for

  more & in all we made about 4 journeys

  but the Biggest surprise of the lot

  was when we opened our Kit bags
