Saw a tommy measuring the cross this morning. A Major saw it when passing and sent back a corporal to take the measurement as he wanted one exactly the same. Some compliment. Went off by car with Q.M.Price at 1.30 to get the drugs. First left a patient at the C.C.S. and then went on to Outtersteene. Had a wait so went along to the Lemaires, old friends where we had a yarn and cup of coffee. It was remarkable what they new of our movements.
They could tell us when we were to be relieved etc. also how many divisions we had in Italy (i.e. 7) and who they were and what ones were coming back, none of which I knew before and they gather the information from the tattling of officers and adding threads of such news together. Collected the drugs and then went on to Bailleul where we tried to buy a present for Sgt. Jones who has just been married. We had no luck but had some fun with a very entertaining Mdlle. in one of the shops. I also bought some putty, black paint and a brush with which to finish the cross.
