Diary Entry - 11th August, 1916

Friday morning I again tackle the dump but find that 24th Div have taken over and refuse to supply anything. The Corps dump, which is also close by, refuses to supply material, although their yard is full. Having gone up to the Battery and reported, the Captain rings up Carrington, who says he will try to get us some, if I come round and collect chit from him at Minden Post. After some hunting, I found Carrington, who was very good, as he always is, and gave me an open chit to any RE. The Corps Sgt. Major gave in on seeing the chit, and I got what I wanted.
