Went to church and had communion. Cold and windy in the morning but very nice towards evening, walked a couple of miles around the compound. Did get our letter form today. I am bored stiff and I will be glad when the war winds up. We had a show this evening, some of the boys singing, telling nice clean jokes and a violinist who was exceptionally good, so the evening passed very pleasantly.
My hands and feet are all swollen and inquiring about it, I found it was chill-blains. I had heard of them but never expected to get them; however I suppose I am lucky to be alive.

Today has brought several changes! I split with my combine for food and went with another fellow, he can make a big meal with practically nothing and by adding scraps, so my eating has improved. One of our lads has got Diptheria and they took him away this morning. I am more afraid of that than I am jerries bullets. It's a hell of a feeling closed in with Diptheria and me so suseptable to colds. The Jerries have promised us more suitable accomodations ; now they are much worse than the army, but it is an army camp and the German army is jealous of their Luftwaffe so take it out on us. |
