Improve position taken up & see Gurkas at work doing same on our right
Main position appears to be far in advance of us & we can see the Turks on the run from N.Zs & Tommies
Move into Bivouac in a sheltered Gully & settle down for the day

Pulled up about 2 am & get into a position to prevent the Turks making a turning movement
About 6 am the 15th & 16th Bats make a charge on Hill 971 but lose hundreds & have to retire
We keep busy improving our trench & they put a M.G. in right near us.
We have to relieve 'D' Coy some distance further along the firing line
