My vaccinated arm gave me some trouble at this time and I had to get it examined by the M.O.
On parade as usual next day. Manoeuvres near Hollow Lane, lost 9 or 10/- out of my purse during a sham attack.
We were warned to sleep clothed but Stan and I went to bed and took our boots and puttees off.  We were alarmed however, but after parading to the orderly room we came home at 2 a.m. again.
On ration party this week and I generally took potatoes or meat round with Leslie Chester. The rations were not very good neither were the remarks the various landladies passed upon them.
Nov. 10th.  After lecture in the evening we had a sing song  in the old hut turned into a Y.M.C.A. and I officiated at the piano.
