Dernier journal (3)
my dear diary
January the first: I have decided to keep a journal of my thoughts and deeds over the coming
year. A daily chart of my progress through the echelons of command, so
that perhaps one day, other aspiring officers may seek enlightenment
through these pages. It is my fond hope that, one day, this journal
will take its place alongside 'Napoleon's War Diaries' and 'The
Memories of Julius Caesar'. July the seventeenth: Auntie Maggie's Birthday. November the twenty-fifth: Gazpacho Soup day!
