1st April ’16

All Fools’ Day, and when I think of last night’s tour I have an uneasy feeling that the major was anticipating a little. It was a regular tear round. Perspiring, shouting sergeants, sarcastic officers and confused, stumbling men still dull-witted from their heavy slumbers. But the battalion moved all right and was ready to march out, fully equipped in battle order in twenty-one minutes. That was good and we are quite pleased about it. It was, of course, only a test – a valuable one.

Prince has come back today I am glad to say. He makes another officer for B, a real help and one I badly needed because Dowling, though he tries, is still somewhat raw and rather an anxiety than otherwise. He improves however.

Knowles’s court martial was promulgated this afternoon. He is only reduced to sergeant. It is a surprisingly light sentence and comes as quite a surprise. I am very glad, though, and hope I will soon be able to have him back in his old rank. That, however, depends upon the CO and must rest in abeyance until his return.

There is no further word yet of Bowly’s trial.
