Medicine and Duty today.  Church parade in Mess huts at 9.00am.  Army Chaplain conducts the Service.  Had a clean up and then went out to enjoy myself at St. Pauls Bay.  Had a glorious time.

Started to do drills and parades again.  Sergt Major takes us for physical drill from 6.00am – 7.00am.  Adjutants parade 9.00am – 10.45am.  Company training 11.00am – 12.30pm, and lectures etc 2.30pm – 4.30pm.  Quite enough for one day.  Gave my weary limbs a cooking in the sea after tea.

September 29^th Tuesday

Brigadier General Lord Lucan inspects the camp and troops at 10.00am and says he is satisfied with our display.  After dinner they wanted to inoculate us, but we did not like the idea, we all refused at first, but after the Colonel Majors Coy Officer and Adjutant spoke to us, we gave in, but I believe old Parr gave us an extra dose.

September 30^th Wednesday

Have got 8 hours sick leave for this.  Arm is rather painful.  Amused myself writing letters
