A.A. Laporte Payne: May 20, 1915
I am sitting in a haystack surrounded by the muddy plain [Salisbury]. We are on a field day with the infantry ... yesterday the whole 18th Division went on a divisional route march, and General Maxse inspected us. As far as I can make out it was for the benefit of the ladies (wives of the generals and staff). See what I command sort of show ... very boring for the (regimental officers and men and a day wasted.
