Diary Entry - 1st July, 1918
Remain at the guns. Major and Lambkin go down to the WL to see how our section got on in the show. The latter had to act as section commander in Nicholson's absence. Keith Thorburn won it by one mark from us, in spite of the fact he had a leg over the whole time in the driving drill but both the judges being on the wrong side did not notice it and of course he won it on his horses as we licked him to pot in harness and turn out. It was another beautiful warm day.
