Diary Entry - 28th July, 1918

Hearing the forward gun had been shot at most of the night we decided to move it and went up to select a position in the morning. We find one across the Cojeul Valley not far to the rear, which Saunders informs the Major has no flash cover - not a bad start for a shop boy who has had exactly forty-eight hours experience and, being the CRA's son, not much was said.
