At 4 o'clock they had a "hop-over" an took some of Fritz's line in order to straighten our line in the centre.
16th We finished the reconoisance yesterday & to-day I have been with the remainder of the section on building the huts. They have made great progress & have a fatigue party from the Tommie's Labour Battalion.
During the morning 15 German aeroplanes came over & in the afternoon we were shelled with shrapnell.
The first Divn. were moving up to-day & the 6th Batn. took up quarters in the huts we have completed. They had about 20 casualties during the afternoon & night but none killed.
