Awoke this morning with a
beautiful headache & a
temperature of 102º & so of

which is in another wing to
this convalescent part.
Landed there in time for
dinner which consisted
of a jug of milk & milk
slops. For the first time
on active service I had
to refuse it. There is
very little difference in
one meal from another.
I’m worrying my life

temperature headache & a
severe cold. At last the MD
comes round. Slight bronchial
trouble is the verdict. Well what-

not going to stick here as
I’ve got my appetite back
& can’t satisfy it on milk
diet. On my temperature
dropping to 99º & the demand
for room being great I
managed to get out & back
to my old possie, after
expecting a serious illness
