Tuesday, 5 June 1917

Fine & warm. Lying about in the paddock having a sleep in the morning & dodging 5.9  & 8 in. shells in afternoon as Fritz sent them over. He lobbed one big one (the only one near the battery) right in B sub pit & killed Cliff Gentle, one of the best fellows going & wounding Anderson in the head. He put a lot into the 25 battery & their  & our officers mess, but did no damage.   He skittled B sub gun though.   It was our turn in the evening though & we made the most of it.
