Mon 11th [12th] Some have to walk nearly two miles – Heavy shelling Achi Baba
Tues 12 July [13th] Heavy gun firing in morning on our front & enemy shelled Courtnays during noon Rather many casualities going down to beach. Had a good bathe in evening with Besier. Called on Tite on way back met a S.M.who knew R.E. Wright well in Fiji. Posted PC & letters to Mater & PC to Janet.
Wed 13th [14th] Stand to Arms. At 3 am then told to carry on till 4 am. To move off at 8.30 am for Popes Post Up packs & moved off. Many got to top of hill & some half way then were told all to go back again as we were not wanted & so back again to our possies & unpack. This is the best our Heads (!) can do after 11 months of it. Waste of mens strength & temper in this heat.
