A Story of War

We progress from 4+1 pr to 3+2 pr to 2+3 pr to 2+4 pr and I get an odd 88% and 75% on 4+1 and 3+2 respectively. (JDW: does anyone know what this means?) Tomorrow we leave for Cairo, and presumably go back on the next ship or flying boat. Not much on here: flying in the morning, a little reading in the afternoon, and drinking by night. The trouble is the early dinner – 7pm to 8.30 – which means you have to go to bed around 8pm or so, which is a bit of a bind. But by some judicious drinking I can usually get into bed in a fit state for sleep, so am OK. They posted us here from India, and so we lose our Indian rates of pay.
