November 1916
25th We received large quantities of material for the trenches to-day & infantry fatigues have been taking quantities of it to a sub-dump (Needle dump) to be taken straight into the trenches The 29th Battallion went "in" to-night & each man was issued with four sandbags. We have had a party making barbed wire entanglements all day, which are to be taken down into the line. The air-craft have been fairly active to-day & we saw two planes brought down one of which was our own. We had a heavy frost last night & to-night we are having some fine rain.
