Diary Entry - 7th September, 1916
Thursday was a quiet day at the OP with Armytage. In the afternoon, General Stokes, his brigade major, a staff pip squeak, Colonel Newcombe and Major Powell came up. Bailley also put in an appearance, so for about half an hour things were slightly congested. Siggers relieved me at seven thirty p.m.
