Thursday, 31 May 1917

Fine & warm. Working round the pit all day filling sandbags ect.   I was firing  on some stunts all afternoon. Did S.O.S. Guard at night & then pit guard after.   We had a fire in the pit in afternoon & it burnt a lot of our camel fly & sandbags but did no further damage.   I fired my first shot out of an 18 pounder. Fritz sending over a few, but did not do much damage.   We  were sending them over all day in one stream. Fritz got a dump behind us at night.
