Diary Entry - 21st March, 1916
A very uninteresting day spent at Lorette. It was very misty all day and inclined to rain. I fired about nine rounds at the Bureau de l'Octroi, with little success, and then gave it up. It is a long day as, to get to Lorette by five, you have to get up soon after three thirty am and you can't get away until nearly six thirty pm.
