to Cavite. At 6 p.m. we received orders to return to quarters. The march across the couse which is 3 1/2 miles long is a march not easily forgotten. Besides these we had 6 more miles to travel. Good many had to drop out and an ambulance picked them up. Some were sent back on the boat. I was like the rest, very tired our when we arrived at 8:30 p.m. to our quarters where we had a little lunch then went to bed. I was really even too tired to sleep having much pain.
