Sunday, July 25, 1915

Turned out at 5 after a night spent in rolling constantly in an effort to keep a blanket about me, and swung below until 6:30. Went to chapel at 10:30 after playing a few games of chess. Dinner was very poor - as most of our meals of late have been - and we had to make up for a shortage in 'eats' by a half hour on the porch. Spent the afternoon writing a letter home and playing chess. Turned in at 8:30. It was too cold and windy to sleep on deck so I turned in on my billet.
