a communication trench all day & a dug out for a cobber & myself. Relieved men in the firing line at night & stayed there till 8 a.m. next morning. During night Turks played our bugle calls & advanced with cries of 'Allah' . We heard we did much slaughter. I was alongside one of our guns & when it went off it through threw earth all over us & nearly deafened us. I thought at first a shell had dropped in front of us.
