There was a big parade of all the
soldiers in camp with their bands on
Sunday morning to attend uniol
divine service on the grounds but a
heavy rain came on just then and
the service was postponed. The 33rd
however requested their 'Chaplain to
hold one independent of the others
and this was done in spite of the rain
the Army Medical Corps joining in.
Large numbers visited the cam'
during the week and particularly on
Sunday afternoon. Among them were
Horny old Exeterites who wanted a
