Diary Entry - 18th June, 1918
Inclined to rain in the morning but fines up about ten a.m. although still thundery. Siggers comes down for lunch. Notice that Thorburn is back again as see him go past with Dickson on his way to the guns so bang goes Siggers' chance of being Major of the battery and my hope of being Captain.
