November 1916
16th This morning there was a very heavy frost & the water was covered with ice ¼" thick
Four of Fritz's planes flew over this morning & dropped two bombs near the railway ammunition dump. One did no damage but the other fell on a wagon, killing 6 horses & a man, & wounding two of the drivers.
17th There was another heavy frost this morning & last night was very cold. The ice on the water is now about ½ an inch thick & although the sun has been shining during the day it has been very cold. I am still on the drain & have started on a culvert under a road near the dump.
