Wednesday 13th Dec. 1916
Visited Billets this morning.
Dull, cold. We had a Bible Class here tonight about 7 of us, but it will grow. We took the parable of the Sower & some very interesting thoughts were presented.
We are expecting a bombardment of the town.
Thursday 14
Raining. Went to Hospital this morning. Made arrangements also for place to hold service for Sunday.
I had a funeral also, an Englishman of the Northumberland Fusiliers, Pt. J.H. Rukin.
This afternoon I rode to Steenwerck to see the representative of the Comforts fund re supplies. They have not yet come to hand. Difficulties being the carriage & transport.
It was about 7 miles over very bad roads. Our guns bombarded the enemy. This afternoon at 6 oclock we were expecting them to reply & shell the Town but so far nothing has come. This morning's paper (13th) contained the offers of peace from Germany but I am confident nothing will come of it.
