hell to pay! On the last particular night we
were soaked & chilled through for the weather
now is far from warm, & for the sentry it is
rather funny to see these poor devils <del>th</del> who
are trying to sleep, huddled up together, most
of them awake & shivering, a few asleep snoring
& the others grumbling & cussing or patiently
sitting it out, & sometimes I would <del>spo</del>
stop & tuck them in with their one blanket &
exchange jokes about it. At day break
we rallied in again to <del>a</del> bivouac & got a few
camp fires going from wood [rustled?] around
& then some time that day the battle<del>d</del> came
to an end & no one was sorry & we marched
home.
There is every indication now that we are
prepairing for Serbia. Tomorrow we start
out again for another 3 days, & that is just
the sort of training that is needed, for it wont
be a question of trench warfare in the Balkens
or at least not at first. There seems no
reason to believe we will go immediatly, worse
luck, & most people seem to think we will
be reserved for a last decisive blow.
