July 28, 1918 (Camp Mills) War Diary: Sleepless night

Worked hard all day today finishing up fitting men out in clothes. [Klien, Cuckler & Collalo] - casuals were assigned to battery, arrived from Camp Merritt last night 27th.

Finished working on clothing records at 9 p.m. and worked rest of the night ‘til 4:30 a.m. with Stg. Daw on passenger list. Went to bed and could not sleep. Stood reveille and had  July 29 breakfast. Mess at Camp Mills has been fair but so much dust that it is hardly fit to eat. Went down to Hempstead and Freeport in evening. Wrote dad from Hempstead. Arrived back at camp at 1 a.m. after a joy ride with Tom Chancy and Doyle, [Timscan] & bunch.

Received orders to leave in the morning.
