Journal Entry – Friday June 30th 1916

I came to Wimbledon on Monday.

It really seems as if the great advance is beginning in France, a fearful amount of heavy firing has been going on for the last week, it has even been heard at Tunbridge Wells.

Everywhere the allies seem to be moving. It says to day that the result of our munition works are beginning to be felt.
Sir Roger Casement’s trial is over & he has been condemned to death poor man, but I suppose it couldn’t have ended any other way, it would not have been fair on all the other who have been shot, but I think it was a pity any of them were put to death. Irishmen cannot be judged from an English standpoint.

Yesterday Father & I went to Tunbridge Wells to see Bakie. It was nice seeing her again & dear Bakie was so pleased to see us.
