Sailed out of Lemnos Bay for the landing this day two years ago, it seems but yesterday. Beautiful weather to-day, and every promise of spring now being with us. News came this morning of another hop-over in the offensive, 2,000 prisoners and two batteries captured with 25 planes and 7 balloons brought down - not so bad for a start. Rumours of something doing on our front to assist the main effort, no doubt. So far we are used to sending 20 horses and 10 men, but expect all our bearers to be called for. Morris will be in it I expect as the 2nd Division are in.
Feeling better myself to-day, but can hardly walk from stiffness after football. Have great ideas of starting to learn French again, but find it requires a lot of will power, the spirit being willing but the flesh weak,especially as I have not come in contact with the French people for the last six months.
