Diary Entry - 24th June, 1918
Went up to the OP at eight a.m. and relieved Tucker who had just been ticked off by the Perrire for allowing his men to use the trench as a latrine. It was rather tough when we had only been in twenty-four hours and could not possibly have done what we were accused of doing. Have quite an amusing time with the forward gun which bangs the front line at under 2000 yards.
