Diary Entry - 1st August, 1918

Come down from the OP through the wood, as the Hun was five nining the usual track and round the corner of the wood. There is a peculiar horse fly in all the woods about the Somme which sucks the blood out of you and on some people they raise huge swellings. They were very bad this morning. Have a breather at the 15th Bty with Siggers.
