Diary Entry - 10th July, 1918
Remain at the guns all day and have to wear my gas respirator from seven to eight, as an order came out they were to be worn an hour each day for a week. The new triplex glass put in the respirator is a great improvement to them, though they are no more comfortable things to wear.
