The Diary of Dorothy Priest, October 30th 1914

The Gurkhas are busy! They destroyed a store of ammunition for a battery that was doing a great deal of harm.

They appear to be just what I have always said, regular little demons for fighting; it says in the Echo “they howled with joy when they attacked the Germans.  News came yesterday of the death of Prince Maurice of Battenberg and today that Prince Louis of Battenberg had resigned his position of First Sea Lord; owing, I gather, to unpleasant remarks being made about him.
