Page 6-7 - August 21st

Wednesday 21^st Aug broke on us with a heavy fog which warned us of a hot day & a hot day it turned out too. In the morning, we practiced a little but in the afternoon it was too hot so we had a spell. In the evening we played a few tunes & then got our orders for the shift in the early morning. Fritz dropped a couple of shells close handy but never hurt anything. Thigns are looking very nice now & ere long we shall all be home with you all.

Little did Jack know that it would be 11 months before he set foot on Australian soil again.

Monday 21^st Aug started with fog down in the low parts of Toowoomba, with a heavy dew on the higher parts. We, too, are expecting an unseasonally warm day. The wandering sister rang last night, and expects to be back tonight some time.
