Journal Entry – Wednesday August 12th 1914

In afternoon Mary & I went to Tavistock for drill. Spent 6 hours of time driving there and back & drilling, having tea & all we did was to make one bed. It was rather sickening. We wished we had brought in some bandages to practise with. After the drill we went to the Mission Room where was held a working party. Every parish is to hold one & send in shirts and socks to Tavistock. Truly the women of Tavistock are working very hard.

Could hear no news of the war, we seem very out of things here.
Lovely evening, sat out after dinner saw several lovely shooting stars.
