19 Wed
I turned Regt out. About 12.30 the enemy's fight died down a little but an attack had been prepared for at 3.50 am with cries of Allah the whole A & NZ posts were rushed. We drove off some 50, killing many some in our trenches, our 1st hand to hand fight. Nichols arm hurt. They tried in front of Quinn's & Courtenays posts till 10 am & gave up. Officially we are told they had 2000 dead & 5000 wd. Relieved during a heavy fire fight at 3 pm by 3rd LH. I am hit in the calf but by richochet only & carry on. Today killed 11, Wd 17 (taken away). Lined inner defence trenches at night.
