Diary Entry - 4th June, 1918
Send up a working party under Sergeant Head and go up myself at nine to get them started on clearing the entrance to the old hole so the wheeler can get a look at it after lunch and see what ought to be done with it. Siggers sends us down railway sleepers from Athies - good strong timber and just the article for the job.
