Lewis Jones, of E Company, whom I knew when I was a youngster in St. Domingo Vale.  In the afternoon we had a good game of Football.
Sunday 22nd.  As there was too much wind we did no shooting but had a little skirmishing on the sandhills and in the afternoon and evening had a good walk and a rest.
Monday.  More practice shooting, very cold at the Butts, I was a marker for some time and was nearly frozen.  Did pretty well at firing and in the afternoon played football.
Tuesday.  Fatigue work in the morning cleaning up Golf House.  The weather was fine at the Butts in the afternoon and I got 3 Bulls and 2 inners at 300 yds. and 4 Bulls and an inner kneeling at same range.  Went with Walton to town at night
