Diary Entry - 2nd September, 1916

I remained at the guns all day. Hoyland was at the OP. Siggers and I worked hard at the Mess all day, putting down a floor. Boschie shelled the position in the afternoon with the same old howitzers and, as there was no firing to be done, we cleared all the men away. He did very little damage, however, except surround the position with holes. He also put some shrapnel over, to catch the rabbits.
