Diary Entry - 11th June, 1916

I went to the wagon line and paid out Siggers, having collected the money the day before. There was one of two subs horses very bad with colic. He had got at a bag of oats during the night and was found very bad at four. He was a good as dead when I saw him and they had done all possible for him, but the poor wretch was suffering terrible agony. All the other horses seemed to have fallen away a little on account of the cold wet weather, it having rained for four days.
