On morning of 8th I have a nervous breakdown & feel as if I am going mad. Get into open air and try to walk it off. Tis’ raining hard, my limbs stiffen & I lay down in a disused dugout in agony. My chums find me & want to send for a doctor but I refuse as army doctors know but little & care less. Very weak at night.
