Tuesday 6th
The Huns shelled our trench a intervals this morning but did nothing more serious than to knock down a officers funk hole at 4pm this afternoon our artillery & bombers gave the Huns a lively time of 5 minutes 3 times with ¼ hour intervals. at 11pm the Aus started a real dinkum bombardment & raided the German trenches & got some prisoners & some booty our artillery followed the lead & we had lively 2 hrs go & we were still going strong when the Hun ceased fire we half expected an attack but it never came off if it had came off we would have had to made across country to the fire trench under a hail of shell fire but it would have been better than cooped up in the trench never knowing what minute would be your last
