Diary Entry - 10th January, 1918

Temperature risen considerably. Everything in a very sloppy condition. Water simply pouring off the hillside above the camp. Barrett went off with a brigade party in a lorry at five fifteen a.m. to Aschiet le Grand, there to catch the train to Amiens. We played 16th battery football in afternoon, winning one nothing. Barrett got back at ten, having some excitement on the lorry in the morning, pirouetting around several times on the road, eventually missing the train and having to go by the leave train.
