Fine & sunny. Cleaning harness all day. We had to turn out at 6.30 pm & go down to the old 27th position in "Houplines" & draw ammunition and take it to our right section & then get another load & take it to the centre section. Got back at 3 AM. Saw a very smart bit of work at the waggon lines in afternoon. A Hun plane got into a cloud coming over our way & hung in it till he got over our stables, & then he dived out & went for an observation balloon close bye with his machine gun. He missed it first go & came back again but missed it again. The men came down in parachutes & landed in our gun park. He was only about 700 ft up
