Easter Monday 9-4
We are all desperately hungry after living on Tommy rations for a week. The Drain pipe artillery are practicing every evening close alongside. The last lot of Tommies got us for a tin of Biscuits ½ a box of Bully & 25 Francs. There was a big stunt last night 56 Tanks participating. It was a great success. Two army corps took part in it. There has been a very heavy bombardment every night since we have been here.
[First Battle of Bullecourt]
Tuesday 10-4
Heavy snowstorm today. Slush everywhere. Gen. Birdwood takes huts over [?] tomorrow. Great news of successful air fighting yesterday.
Thursday 12-4
I am not sure that today is Thursday but will have to chance it. Fritz sent only 2 shells over yesterday.
