Yesterday we had 17 fresh cases. 14 cot consequently I did not get off all day, but was on from 8 to 8.30 p.m. One boy was brought into Ward 7, shot right through the stomach & with pneumonia & bronchitis as well, so he entailed a good deal of work. Some of the cases were only wounded on Sunday midnight.

To day has also been a very hard day, but I got off in the aft. There has been a political crisis. Lord Fisher has resigned from 1st Lord of the Admiralty, & a coalition government is to be formed.
