[Thursday 13 April]

It has been fine today & given us a chance to clean up.

In the daytime it is safe to go about anywhere you like but at night you have to sit pretty tight as they rattle their machine guns round in the most unlikely places when you least expect them.

The trenches here are swarming with the biggest & cheekiest rats I have ever seen, they swarm amongst the sandbags when you are on guard & over your body while you sleep. I can tell you it would give the most level headed girl hysterics in about two ups.

There are only six of us & a Sgt with one gun here & we have no firing to do.

I am keeping O.K. so far even though it is wet. You can't compare this to the Peninsula but of course it would get worse if there was anything doing.
