on 20 October 1913 he left camp without permission

on 4 December he was absent from parade at 8 am, though not a
defaulter
on 14 February 1914 he entered an institute without permission
whilst on parade
on 25 February he used obscene language to an NCO.
He also had a couple of bouts of illness: on
1 to 28 April 1913 he was admitted to hospital having had "a fit
fo some description" in the barracks, but no more were observed
during his stay in the hospital, and on 29 April to 9 May 1913
he returning "complaining of headaches" and was again observed
but no disease detected.
(undated) I desire to be transferred from the Royal
