June 1915
a fortnight.

Wednesday 9th
Went into support at 6.30am. We had an uncomfortable time as there was a fair wind blowing & the dust from the parapets was continually showering on us. After dinner we went into No 2 sap to relieve B Company. We went into the trenches at 6.30pm & had a quiet night.

Thursday 10th
Came out at 6.30am. Went round to B Cos supports & had a yarn with Alf whose Co we are relieving at 12.30pm. A & C Troops finished the day & night in the trenches & things were very quiet again. I had a fairly crook night with diarrhoea & vomiting.

Friday 11th
Went & saw the doctor & got a no 9 pill which is pretty severe. Got 24 hrs light duty, so didn't have to go into the trenches. Had a good sleep in the afternoon but at night didn't feel quite well. The Turks in front of us were very quiet.
