Mitchell replaces Walton on our squad Fritz kicked up quite a fuss all night but we don’t get a case when he gets a fella here he usually gets him plumb. a regiment S.B borrows a stretcher for a fellow hit outside but the fellow dies. Thursday Feb 1. Cannot put our noses outside all day. have quite a bit of fun with Agatha & Roy’s letters. H.C pie for supper on our return to A.D.S. one month of this year gone, How many more to go? I want to go home to St B. Friday Feb 2. No fatigue in the morning, we get out two loads of wood near the church in the afternoon & at 3.30 Killjoy & I guard it until 5. go home & get supper & then return to the church & load up two G.S. waggons with the wood for the M.D.S. & A.D.S.
