Word of heavy casualties up Struma

11 September 1916 Monday

Let up today, temperature having been most respectable for a few days. Had my meals in the mess tent.
Word of heavy casualties up Struma forced them to clear the hospital. At first I was ordered for a hospital ship to Malta along with some others but got out of it not relishing the idea of going to Malta if something is coming off here. Ordered for Summer Hill Convalescent Camp. Two officers taken in this ward both with rifle bullets both 20th Div. One man in the arm and the other rather more seriously in the abdomen.
