Diary Entry - 19th to 20th June, 1916
Tuesday with the battery all day. A very quiet sunny day. Wednesday I went to Chamblain Abbe to get the pay, then rode on to the wagon line, calling at the engineers on the way down. Paud out at the wagon line after stables, then changed my horses and came back to the battery. Ginger was out of action as had galled his near hind with a rope just above the hoof. In the evening, I went to the OP.
