This diary was kept while at Denne Park, England. It has entries about using athletics training to build up the modern soldier, an outbreak of mumps and subsequent quarantine, a competitive endurance test, a thorough inspection, and participating in "Warship Week" in the town of Horsham, among other activities and information. Includes appendices covering orders, strength returns (daily & weekly), training syllabi, administrative memos, exercises, operational orders, movement orders, and The Soldiers Guide to the Identity of Documents and Passes.
