Diary Entry - 3rd June, 1918
Siggers comes down in the morning to have a look round and in the afternoon we both ride up to rear position to arrange about building 4.2 proof shelters for the detachments. He arranges that two shall be built, one in an old funk hole which is already beginning to fall in and the other has to be cut out of the face of a bank.
