Dug out & as we were at lunch Fritz began shelling us. He sent over quite a few. It gives one a queer sensation at first when shells fall near one, but the feeling is "stay still & hope they will go anywhere else". I went along nearly all our Front line yesterday. It is in a terrible condition in some places. It is just churned up with shell fire, wet & cold.Got back about dark very tired.
Thursday 7thVisited Hospital this morning, also looked out place for service. Raining slightly, cold.
Friday 8thVisited the Trenches today, had lunch with Capt. Connell. A heavy bombardment began at 1.30 & continued till about dark. Great shells went screaming overhead & burst with a dull thud in the enemy's trenches.Mills looked in after Tea.
