Carry 3 times to Lee's Post for Pozieres. Knocked clear out. thoroughly exhaust Get budget of letters in dugout last night. What a read, & what a brief respite from the awful surroundings. Flies in dugout 3– black, sleepy crawly horrors satiated with offal, seek comparative quiet in the bowels of the earth. Concussion blows candle out repeatedly. Too tired to rest. Meet Tony in afternoon & have a good old yarn. Warwicks hop over this evening. Drizzly rain sets in again it makes the roads & saps well-nigh impassable. 6th F. Amb bearers come up to reinforce. a big stunt anticipated to night by our boys.
