From all appearances this is a great place for sunset another beauty tod last evening things were pretty Lively last night all along the line I think the Turks must have got anew supply of war toys pills. Terribly cold this morning with a bigeting wind to accompany it, windy all day which mean plenty of Turkish soil with ones meals. It looks as though that snipers has shifted his quarters now. Nice little scene this afternoon. One of our Destroyer was throwing a few pills over at the Turks trenches which the Turks did not appreciate whosever one of our gun retured complement which went very close needless to say our helpmates went of the mark at a great pace. 7 Brigade officers having a 'good look around' up here this afternoon things look as though we will be relieved at last whitin the next couple of day.
