Almost simultaneously a shrapnel burst above his place of abode, completely wrecking the entire wardrobe. Shirt, trousers, leggings, etc., were entirely ruined & his neighbours below suffered almost as heavy as he did.

The 9th battalion who occupy this extreme wing suffered rather heavily yesterday as a result of a prolonged attack from this handful of danger. What made it doubly bad was the position of the dressing station – it appeared to be entirely on the way of bursting shells.
