Wednesday 4.4.17
Practically all the casualties through from the stunt. Fritz shelled heavily during the day all around our post; gave artillery around rough time. Expect to be relieved to-morrow by 1st Division. Rations very scanty.

Thursday 5.4.17
Relieved at 10 Am & marched back to Bapaume where we had dinner & moved off again to Bernafay Wood across country another 7 miles; about done when we arrived there but soon pulled together when we had a drop of tea & a spell. Country which a few weeks ago was alive with traffic is now deserted.

Friday 6.4.17
Good Friday; left Bernafay Wood
