1917 NOV.
Wed. Nov. 21st Contd.
Sent through [indecipherable] & sig. report at 4 PM. A burial ground for our men lies near the wood behind us & was consecrated by the Bishop of Pretoria. All about here are to be seen graves of our men in 2s 3s or more, who were killed in action in the early days of the war. Today I came across one marked "Sacred to the memory of 4 unknown British heros, killed in action Nov 1914". The Canadians are still pushing forward at Paschendale [Passchendaele] on our left. At 7 PM our Batt were relieved by the 34th & we marched back to Rossignol camp, over the mountain, & about 5 miles from the trenches.
