Lovely day, glorious sunshine and not so cold as yesterday. 3 of our cruisers sunk by a German submarines. Aboukir, Cressy & Hogue “First Successes” . Jack Froude was in one of them (Cressy) “John A Froude”. A very long casualty list today from the Army.

Frederick went in again to Tavistock to try & join the territorials & returned at 10.15 all triumphant, having been passed.

I went down into the kitchen to see if he had returned & found him with an admiring crowd of females round him, showing his paper that he had had filled up. So that makes 3 of the Guild, who had volunteered, the rest will no doubt follow suit.

Elzie Wingfield arrived at 10.15 from Tintagel. She came into Tavistock with us in the afternoon. At 5.30 we had a meeting of the girls division of the Guild to settle what course of amusement we should follow for the autumn & winter months. In the end we settled to teach them 1st. aid and bandaging, Mary & I are to lecture, we can read it from the book.

Then we hope to do some club exercises singing and cardplaying, Mrs Smith offers to teach them some invalid cookery.
