The Diary in March
The Spring Push
Baghdad is finally taken
The Russian Revolution begins.
March 1st – 8th
Bad weather continues: colds and flu, and a trip to London. The Spring “push” appears to be nearing as hospitals are made ready in Wynne’s area.
March 9th – 15th
Baghdad falls at last – a relief after the disaster of the previous year. Sugar and other necessities are hard to find, and no one dresses for the theatre any more!
March 16th – 22nd
The fall of the Czar electrifies Wynne, who inserts cuttings about it and ponders on the new republic.
March 23rd – 31st
Too cold for gardening…and one of Wynne’s visiting soldiers comments very unfavourably on the countryside.
