- destruction. It is regarded by Harold and me as merely a forerunner of some good home cooking we expect to enjoy "next week". Our supper hour has been advanced to 4,30 now so I’ve not been eating very much lately. A little bread and jam with a cup of tea suits me.
It seems an awful long time from supper to bed time, for naturally there isn’t very much to do up here. Harold and I took in the movie show for the first time last night and saw a much better show than I had anticipated. I intend going again some night this week. Have to do something to put in the time.
Am thankful to say that we are just about through with our vaccination and inoculation. Harold’s vaccination took "fine" and he isn’t quite over it yet, but mine didn’t. Had my first dose about two weeks ago but it failed to take. Was shot again lastTuesday (a double dose) but no symptoms have developed yet to indicate that it has taken. If not expect they will take another crack at me.
The weather has been pretty good here the past few days, i,e. during the day. The nights are fierce, and turning out at 6 A.M. with the snow coming down as it was yesterday is no cinch. Today it has been snowing and hailing every so often,
Hot enough to cover the ground but just so as to give a taste of what is in store for us if we are kept up here much longer.
If the higher ups who are responsible for us being here could be made to sleep a few nights here, the order transfering us to the coast wouldn’t be long in coming.
You can stop worrying over the underwear proposition now, as we have had some issued to us. While it is very much on the itchy side, it is good and warm, and after being washed fanby a good deal of the itch will be taken out of it.
The entire corps attended church parade at the Presbyterian Church tnis morning, Harold and I wore our uniforms for the first time and needless to say felt very much self-conscious. Is Will be thoroughly accustomed to them by the time we are ready to start for the coast though, so have no doubt we will make some impression when we march up Government Street. Am sure looking forward to that time too. Bill Me. says that now he has seen himself in uniform he.can’t start East too soon. He has an awfully big calf, and honestly his legs look larger below the knee than above. He very nearly laughed his head off when he first saw how he looked.
We had some job trying to match our uniforms too. Bill’s pants changed hands four times in our tent, Harold finally landing them, I traded my pants with Bill, and he traded them in some other tent so cen’t say who finally landed them. I have Harold’s original pir. Hone of us obtained a perfect match, but
