Bryant’s diary:  Friday 31^st October 1941   

The Colonel inspected us and was anything but complimentary and didn’t even mention our job in Tobruk.  A big draft of reinforcements and enlist men arrived in the afternoon and amongst them was Ted Taylor.  That makes 3 corporals for the section.

Just a usual day of organised mucking around.

Bryant’s diary:  Sunday 2^nd November 1941    

We had a church parade in F.S. and nearly died of prickly heat.  I went to Hill 95 and saw my brother Geoff, the first time in 18 months.  It was easy to pick up lifts from our camp and back.

Organised sports were on in the afternoon and our Company lost the cricket, soccer and league to H.Q. Coy.  I am Bn Orderly Corporal for tomorrow.  It should be an easy job.

Who ever said BOC was an easy job[?]  I ran around all day and was glad to be relieved. 

Bryant’s diary:  Wednesday 5^th November 1941    

We had more sports today and I lost a bit of sweat as a result.  I have a chance to go on leave to Cairo.
