After 9.30 parade, Ridgway, Bob, Andy Carruthers & self go for tour over old battleground. Visit Bazentin – le Grand & Petit. then over unspeakable roads to High Wood. The Herculean task of the horse transport to get along the tracks an army employed keeping them in some sort of order; Visit 2 disabled Tanks in High Wood. the much talked of Tanks – rather disappointing when seen. H.M.S.L.S. Deelphine. Walk back against strong gale. Reg meets me in our dugout in deluge of rain. At last we come across each other, mutual delight. V great yarn. he looks well. Drive in transport in 8th Field in action in the line. We relieve them tomorrow.
