Corp. Wright (15th MG) Miss Scott Ada & I to Somme Battle picture. Excellent in every way but not so gruesome as expected - heavy batteries in action exceptionally fine . Nametz & Fricourt villages crumbled brick & matchwood. Go to Navy yard with Rolly Whyte - first day I have felt anything like well for six months. Mi/s Scott ("Tommy") - stenographer adjutant & A - but breakdown badly in afternoon. Geo & Mable, Lorne & I got to Somme pictures. Sister Wilkinson & probationer Mi/s Cross leave for new hospital at Resthaven, Sidney. Lorne comes down to hospital for me. Long talk with F C Green.
