Stayed in bed all day under orders and the Major came down to see me. Felt much improved in the evening so got up, had a wash and shave but fear I overdid it as I don’t feel as well now. Will try and get up to-morrow. Still no mail, yet most of the others have received theirs. Fritz still pushing up north and I believe that we have lost Paschendaele and Meesines ridge. What lives we lost taking those places last year heaven only knows, and now they are gone in a moment. Gas casualties still heavy, mostly through our chaps being careless or their officers, and for which they will be hauled over the coals.
