Had breakfast in the city of Winnipeg. Later reported at Agricultural College, the Head quarters of the no. 11th, Field Ambulance.

We were medically examined and all passed. (I have a 4 inch chest expansion.) We were given our uniforms and sworn before 4pm. We attended our first lecture.

In the evening we went down to the city.

Staines at breakfast “Is there a rural deliver in the city?”
