Monday, September 17th, 1917.

1141st day

Korniloff has surrendered to General Alexieff. Korensky is supreme. The Duma is to be dissolved: & Russia is to become a Republic. Meanwhile the fight is to continue.

I attended Mattins, & wrote letters, also worked at the York sermon. After Evensong Elizabeth walked with me through Houghall Wood. I received a letter from Harry Dibben, enclosing a double photograph of himself & his brother Sydney. They go to France in a few days. He also reports the deaths of two more of the "old boys".

I have now heard of the following as killed in action:–

1. Reggie Still. 2. Cyril Hayward. 3.Bertram Sims. 4. Leslie Hider. 5. Henry. 6. Chandler.

This is a heavy list out of so limited a number.
