Tuesday 23rd February 1915
The Company was on parade at 7 a.m. and proceeded to Campimento for Company training at 7.30 a.m. The morning was cool and fresh up to 9 a.m. and then the heat of the sun began to be felt and a species of small sand fly from the swamps began to make things very uncomfortable. We returned to quarters at 11 a.m. and a dip in the Canal soon cooled us all down again. This afternoon 2.30-3.30 p.m. is to be spent in improving trenches. Lieut Aitken is establishing a dressing Station with No.2 Platoon today and comes to stay at Coy Headquarters. [Later, different pen] Lieut Aitken arrived in due course and went to No.2 Platoon, the Store tent being sacrificed for their joint accommodation.
