Hot water Bags Frozen.
After over two years' absence on duty in Salonica, Nurse Marian Shand writes from a 'con camp' in the hills: "We are all supposed to be convalescing, but I have not been ill. This Is what we call two weeks 'baksheesh,' or thrown in. It's glorious, but broilling, yet within half an hour's walk we can get to ice-pits. But what else would one expect in Greece, for is it not supposed to be the origin of mystery? We are now well acquainted with a 'Vardar' wind, which, if it follows all the rules and regulations, should last three days. it penetrates everything. When the snow came we had to live in gum boots, then weeks of frost froze everything - we even had to keep the medicines near the stove. In the morning out hot-water bags were frozen in bed, and our gum boots frozen to the floor. We had some great sport snow-fighting."
