9 July 1918 Tuesday
Out wiring last night Jacko shelled the adjoining hill pretty badly & made good fireworks, we dont get home to until midnight or 1 0'clock & stand to arms again at half past 3, so can do a sleep
[indecipherable] gone "phut" again- Reinforcements come, stop a week or 10 days & go, evacuated sick, only a few of the hard old survivors hang on & make the back-bone of each troop- permanently my nerves are rotten
Anyway the type being sent from Australia now are a poor lot & don't seem to last more than a few nights wiring etc:-
