Rate of age for second army of 100,000 raised from 19-35. Heard that
recruiting in Cardiff, Swansea and Wales is good. Crowds of enlisted men seen at the
station waiting to entrain.
Feeling of discontent among certain civilian sections of the public
that so little war news is published... no understanding of the time it takes to get out
full casualty-lists, or the risk of publishing news that might help the enemy. A sort of
suspicious selfishness.
