Fritz sent a shell over yesterday & killed an unfortunate German prisoner, Bad luck.
Our Reos [reinforcements] are rather amusing they start chatting [searching for lice] directly they arrive & when they catch one or two, exult considering they are already old Soldiers. We had a Bath today. Nos. 1 & 2 Platoons went out to Flers working on dug outs.
Monday 4-12-16
Fritz caught an Engineers dug out a couple of days ago & Killed 9 out of 11. A fine day to day
Wednesday 6-12-16
He Blew 4 Tommies to pieces & wounded 7 others in one dug out yesterday. I won't chronicle any more of these items. We only get about 9 Hrs day light now. The Gaurds Brigade only stayed here 4 or 5 days when they came in. Done one Stunt & Hopped out again. Lucky Beggars.
