Diary Entry - 6th September, 1917
Go to wagon lines during stables. Pelham came round with a Captain, man in charge of Divisional cooking. He messed about the kitchen asking silly sorts of questions about the diet sheet made out for the men. I lunched with Hoyland, then remained at the WL for the afternoon as it was rumoured that GOC Division might pay the lines a visit. However, he did not turn up.
