Monday 13 September, 1915

Another man sent to Lemnos, Pte Simpson.

A very hard day, two trips to the beach, shelled both times, the second time the shells were going all round me but most of them went in the water & failed to explode. I had only been back from my second trip & hour & a half before going into the gun pit all night.

Met Paddy Matthews & Les Payton down on the beach & had a yarn to them.

Water has been very short lately for some reason or other & what we do get is very salty.

It was very cold on watch on the gun during the night but I managed to get a fair amount of sleep so do not feel too bad this morning.

The artillery on both sides has been very lively. Pte Halfford, one of our men got a slight graze from a bullet on the head, the first man we have had touched.
