Page 15 - September 16th

Monday 16^th Sept. Up bright & early as usual at 7am. After breakfast the boys were put on filling shell-holes in the parade ground & later on we went for a bath. After dinner we had our usual practice & played in the ev ening for the Blue Gums. Fritz paid us his usual air raid, but did no damage. During the early hours of the morning it rained very heavy.

Saturday 16^th Sept. I was up earlier than Jack was all those years ago. Some rain in the wee small hours, and still cloudy just after dawn. The usual Saturday morning shopping trip, and then a fairly lazy day because of the frequent rain showers.

Looking back through Jack's comments on aerial bombing; pretty ineffective in those days!
