Diary Entry - 19th June, 1918
At eleven a.m. McKenna and I walked to the guns for lunch. It was a very muggy and thundery sort of day so we were pretty warm when we got there. We found Nick was the sole inhabitant as the others were up the line and Cruikers doing OP. However, they got back for lunch all right. There was a very short heavy shower about two, which made things more steamy than ever.
