Diary Entry - 24th February, 1918
We go to church at nine thirty a.m. and Siggers performs on the goanna playing several amens in the wrong place. After lunch I took Sgt. Head's new horse out for a trial spin but did not like him a bit - being 17 hands he has a tremendous stride and ought to cover the country well but he was too big and clumsy for me.
