Saturday 20th February
Out all day on Tactical Scheme. Commenced at 7.30AM
and finished up at 6 PM, which meant it was 7.30 before we washed and ready for
dinner. Very good days work. Our Brigade Communications worked admirably. No
hitches. Hughes, Waite and myself went to dinner at Pengellys, returned home
11.30PM. Very crisp and sharp riding home in the night air. Old Jack was out
for a gallop and I had a great job to hold him in.
