Diary Entry - 30th June, 1916
Guns all day and went to the OP in the evening. Friday very quiet. Suttie came up in the afternoon and did a little shooting on some wire, but as the whole artillery was stopped in 2nd Division about three pm did not get much done. Suttie was rather annoyed as the message said that they were trying to find someone who was shooting short.
