Diary Entry - 7th May, 1916
Back again at the guns on Sunday night and spent a cold windy day with no fire in the dugout. General Sanders came round the position in the morning and I think that is the only event worthy of note that happened all day. Oh yes, Kellagher tried to knock down the white house in Lievin with No. 4, firing 33 rounds. The house still remains standing.
