Diary Entry - 25th February, 1916
Hoyland and Mead come back from the firing line with the centre section about nine p.m. They had to be very careful, as it is still freezing and snowing. After dinner, there were great fights with snowballs outside the mess. That night we also had Cox, a K man, with us. He had brought a section up to relieve Hoyland's.
