20th continued We took up our position in Mametz Camp together with the 15th Brigade, & in all probabilities will be staying here for a few days. The weather has been very fine all day with a bright sun shining. We are still within hearing of the guns & all through the night the bombardment continued, still very heavy. It started early this morning & towards the left was exceedingly heavy.

Revellie at 7 am. Breakfast 7.30 & at 9 A.M. we fell in for inspection, & were dismissed about 10 AM after our feet had been examined. Four men of each section were given leave for the day for Albert.
