"C" Section men have been sent to the trenches whilst our "B" Section are running baths at Erquingham. Wounded are now coming in from the line. Our billet is a concrete floored loft in a huge two storey building. Heavy guns kept me awake for hours.
12th July (Wednesday)
Nothing to do all day – writing etc. More of "B" & "C" Sections sent to trenches. Wounded continue to come in, some in fearful condition. Conversing with "Tommy" Artillerymen this afternoon. They say that before the Australians & New Zealanders came to this part of the front things were pretty quiet. A kind of understanding seems to have existed between the Tommies & Fritz. If one didn't fire the other wouldn't, but now the Australians have started knocking things about.
