Saturday 11 September, 1915

Watches changed, have to do 18 hours on & 18 hours off.

Heavy firing during night. It is reported that Hill 971 & the railway have been captured. If that is so we may safely anticipate an early move from here.

Scored a tin of concentrated cream & made some rice & milk which was very acceptable, am looking forward to a repitition if I can get good with the Quartermaster Sgt who has a couple of cases.

It continues cold, especially at night. The artillery on both sides was very active during the afternoon, several shells landed on Courtneys.

We find our dugout a great blessing you get a bit of peace & quietness.

One of our men, Gibson, has been sent to Lemnos suffering from Dysentry. This is the first man we have lost.
