Walford: Hoyland was at the guns, Cruikshank at the Maillet position and I was at the Mess. For most of the morning I wrote letters and in the afternoon I strolled along to Kellagher's battery for a bath. After having rather a struggle with the Wedgwood, I got a good wash and went into the Mess for tea, where K, Medge, Wailley and McIntyre were already seated. Their Mess was so comfortable that I did not like turning out to go back in the cold.
Bee: Went up to the forward position today. About ten a.m. the rest of the officers came up and said there was going to be straff and that we had to cut the first line wire. So, of course, there was great heat as the day before we were cut down to 100 rounds a day. It finally turned out to be a feint attack to find out how much artillery the Hun had against us. And it was found that he had very little he could put onto this particular front.
