‘Granted leave but spent a lazy day in camp, went to the picture show at the Empire theatre after tea. There are 5 picture theatres in this camp. They are extremely roughly constructed, but nevertheless serve their purpose, they go under the names of Empire, Red Cross, Pathes, Pyramid and the Coliseum.’
