1916 December 25Monday Xmas Day!!! In the field. Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men. Man's answer --- the roar of guns – in charge of death dealing shells. Christianity travestied. We are all let off fatigue as a great concession. Get dinner of mince & carrot, with plum pudding & custard. We supplement with tin fruit, tin plum pudding & cream. Called up for duty at 5p.m. on evacuation. Several wounded brought down, extra activity to celebrate the day, No less than 4 poor fellows die within hour in dressing room. Thus was Xmas spent.
