Feb 7 Off all day. out for eggs & chips dinner & supper Thursday Feb 8 5 years ago to day lost Nell. 14 years ago ti-day I froze my feet. Sanitary fatigue 8 AM to 10.30 dismissed from Sanitary fatigue by L.C. Hall at 10.30. Hut inspection by O.C & adjudant I stand to my pack & am all O.K. S Sergt Sharpe is in the hut kicking up a row on a fiddle & yapping his head off trying to taffy us along & make himself a good fellow (quite impossible) after the inspection I clean up & shave ready for two oclock dress parade & speak Sharp tells R.S.M & as the R.S.M is hanging onto his job now by a close shave he reports me & I am for office at 10 AM next day Friday Feb 9. I appear at the O/R & report I could not get water & did not have time to shave before going on fatigue but the O.C clips me seven days C.B & extra fatigues. I should of been tried by my section commander & then this petty crime would not have to go on my sheet, Spotter Sharpe was witness against me.
