  at last about 1-o clock we sat
  

  down for the great meal & what
  

  a meal. The first thing we had
  

  Goose or duck which we choose
  

  then beef & vegitables then we had
  

  the usual christmas pudding then
  

  fruit & cigarettes we had a many
  

  minerals & as much beer as we
  

  wanted. During the dinner we were
  

  visited by General Raitt  - Col.

  Waterlow & the  rest of the officers

  but all the good they did
  

  was to keep us from our dinner
  

  but we made up for it afterwords
  

  after dinner we all had a lie
  

  down could anything else be
  

  expected after having such good.
  

  dinner. Tea time came around
  

  eventually & for tea we had
  

  Tea Bread Butter Jam
  

  Marmalad & cake so we did
  

  not fare very bad. after
  

  tea we cleared the rubbish
