Diary Entry - 10th February, 1918
For some reason one Walker of D36 came up and relieved me at twelve p.m. I should not really have been relieved until the next day. On arriving back for lunch find Vosper and Siggers already started. The Huns straafed a 19th divisional battery in the afternoon, to some tune, with four twos, but don't think they got any hits. We played bridge in the evening. At least it was named bridge but we none of us knew anything about the game.
