Keep Smiling

Entry # 41 April 24th 1916

(Easter Monday) - Hooray! My first days holiday since arriving in France, owing to being out in the trenches. So at 9 AM I sent out along with the three other Macs and paid Albert another visit. We spent most of the day sightseeing in souvenir hunting, and got a few fine ones in the Cathedral and sellers below some. Returning to Martinsart via Avelny after an ideal days holiday, about 5:30 PM. When we found up to the-British Army's usual moving records-that once more the Battalion had moved. Fortunately for us the move was only across a few fields so we got our stuff across, and thanked our lucky stars the move wasn't a big one. So ended one of the happiest days of active service. And for a few more days my address is ``Ravine Villa``.
