Diary Entry - 22nd June, 1918
March at eight a.m. Siggers and I ride on to St Amand and find B189 is the battery we take over from 46th Div. They remain at the wagonlines that night but we take up four guns into action. Scottie and I go up for the night and the Major of the battery we relieve - a funny sort of codger - rides up with us as he has to take two guns off into another position that night.
