Reader’s notes on the scan
- Item 3 text was corrected in handwritten ink with '5 net'.
- Item 8 text is ditto marks.
- Item 30 typo: 'white at' instead of 'while at', 'horser' instead of 'hawser'.
- Item 1 date: '9 - 5 - 1918' implies Sept 5 1918.
- Signature date was originally typed '1918' but maybe slightly struck over with an 'X' to 1919?
