Tues. Nov. 7th: -
Received Aussie mail dated Aug. 27th.
Wed. Nov. 8th: -
Worked on fatigue at hillside neat a "Tommy": howitzer battery building a tunnel for Winter "possies". A shell coming over killed a officer & wounded 4 others.
May as well be in line as then we wouldn't have to be doing hard-graft night & day.
Thurs. Nov. 9th: -
Pay-day. Received 50 francs. Nothing to do it on here except cards & the "National game". The padre ran a bit of a canteen but his stock soon ran out. Received mail dated Sept. 16th.
Mon. Nov. 13th: -
Left the "humpies" on road at Delville & went back about a mile to possies near Bernafay where we are to do the night.
Mud still keeping us company & we have two 6 inch naval guns firing over us from about 50 yds back.
"Fritz" naturally tries searching for them & two of our chaps got wounded as soon as we got here. I think we go right back for a wash & "spell"
4th Division took over from us & we won't be trailing along Cocoa Lane or Flare Alley for a while.
