1913
The Diary in January
1913 is supposed to be Herbert's last full year in the Artillery...they are still at Aldershot.
January 1st – 7th
The New Year starts cold, but a ball enlivens things
before the family decamps from their army home in Upper Hale near
Aldershot, to stay with the in-laws in Chelmsford.
January 8th – 15th
Lazing at Springfield, Chelmsford, with a visit to London to
see the Pantomime at Drury Lane as a Christmas treat.
January 16th – 24th
The winter break at Springfield continues,
with occasional forays to London – to the Zoo or to Paddington to
wave goodbye to her son, going back to school.
January 25th – 31st
Back home to Aldershot – but letters from
her polo-playing brother in India and a London visit to an opera
make it bearable
