Diary

April 6 - Arrived early in the morning and unloaded our supplies. After that we went into rest camp, on the outskirts of the city. It rained hard most of the afternoon. A guard was detailed to prevent the boys going into the city, but I got through it and spent about two hours up town. The rain made the city very dirty. Many English billeted here. It rained again before I got back to camp and I got soaked.
