Diary Entry - 6th August, 1917
Having arranged to have my things packed and moved, Vosper and I set off after breakfast for Annequin where we just found Claudet and Hewitson walking towards the guns. The former was just going off to Vimereux to a camouflage course for a week and Hewitson was taking over. I spent the day gaining as much knowledge as possible about zones targets et cetera.
