Tuesday, February 1

Looked over base today and it is quite nice except for a few things. The English don't go in for elaborate plumbing - we have 4 wash basins for 300 officers and they are 3/4 of a mile from any of the quarters. We walk 1 mile to  mess and must wear dress uniform for the evening meal they are certainly making this a gentleman's war.

We are allowed 1 bar of soap, 1 package of gum & 2 bars of candy per week and as yet there is no stationary available so very few letters. Incidentally, I helped censor mail this evening - it is quite an experience.
