marched the return journey without a halt, and wet through to the skin. We were all worn out and I’m thankful to say I had a change of clothing with me. We re-commenced firing the next day, Sunday. Got 1 Bull, 3 inners, 3 magpies and – 1 outer at rapid firing at 500 yds. Was firing from a bad position but many had not come off so well as I did, still I was sorry I hadn’t done better.
Monday. Couldn’t get on the range as it was occupied by some other battalion, so went a short route march.
