4 April 1916

Posted by Dick on April 4, 1916
Very early - again - and I had all the work and everything finished by eleven o'clock, before it got really hot. Bathed at midday and thoroughly enjoyed it.

A mail came in after lunch, but I heard nothing from home. I heard from Cecil Ellis; he is still a fixture in India and seems to think they will be there for some time.

Bathed again about three. The divisional band came and played again this evening. There seems to be some excitement about the burning of that canteen last night. The native says he had 150 [pounds] in cash there, so somebody has done well. I don't think any of our men are responsible - probably the brigade next to us.
