Diary Entry - 5th March, 1918
Major and Robson go to Metz to look for wagon line, also to visit near position. A walk up to the tank gun in a strong wind which is blowing from the west. The enemy's planes were very active during the morning and ours seemed to be very inactive. We do more gas drill in the evening. The colonel returned off leave, arriving up at HQ in the afternoon.
