It is still raining, which makes the third day's rain. My
ward was broken up today and the sick boys were transferred to Ward D in
hospital number 4. We worked all afternoon making the ward ready for the
wounded from the field hospital. I tried to get permission to return to my
regiment today, but the doctor would not let me go. But all who are able, if
not needed here, are to be sent to the front tomorrow.
