Diary Entry - 17th March, 1918
My eyes had improved greatly by midday and at four I have a look round and find Siggers has unearthed a nice black mare for me, my groom having lifted it off some DAC lines. Dr Cox, Siggers's groom, also brought back a horse, but he sent it back. In the evening McKenna and I strolled over to see the clover field which we had wired off for the horses and had placarded with reserved for Vth Corps. Bdr Clarke, C and Gnr Law were gassed.
