25 July 1914; Saturday

Busy all morning at work. Boxed with Charlie in the afternoon and played a bit. Read a bit and went over to Roker at night with Willie Whittaker. Listened to the band and walked along to Whitburn and carred1 back. Rather cold night. Charlie at work.

Servia’s2 answer considered unsatisfactory. Austrian ministers leaving Belgrade.


  1. “Carred”: rode on the tram-car. 

  2. See note on 23 July about this spelling of Serbia.
