A foggy day, cold and raw, after a frost; roads not passable till mid-day. Went out to see 9^th in p.m., just back. Seem quite comfortable. Padre away taking services. The Gosford cigarettes did come, and were acknowledged. I will write a note. Went round the cemetery with Duke in the morning; over 4,000 graves—British. Saw Lyness’s and Crymble’s, also Corbally’s, Capt R.F.A. Duke goes on leave tomorrow, am sorry. Young Allen of 12^th came in to dinner last night; he is Bde. Grenade Officer; a very nice boy and capable. He got an M.C.
