Tuesday 4th January

To-day I reported back to the 7th Battery for duty & I was put in “D" Sub & I did not do much just nosed round to see how things stood. Our horses were there all looking well. I went round & greeted the old Drivers. How pleasant it was to meet old comrades again.

I must say I did not like going back to a Bell tent with about 10 men in it its all in the game.
