1st February 1916
Severely cold night, little sleep, 3 blankets. In morning visit Lt Qm Gaiger, Sgt Major Worswick at Meerut Bt Hosp, Sgt M......, Sgts Taylor, Girling and Major Steele at No.1 Stat Hosp. The latter gave me reference. Sgt Major Ward at no. 12 Hosp.
Had most enjoyable afternoon and evening with Sgt Major Ward. Took the tram to monument of Joan of Arc. Splendid ride on front of tram up the winding roads to the top of the hill from which is obtained a grand view of the town, river and country (the mist hid most of it, however). The monument and church are very beautiful. Had tea at the Soldier's Home, very nice. Walk around the town and then another Soldier's Home where we had some singing, returning at 10.15 pm. Water froze inside tent.
