No truce this Xmas.. Along parts of the front Fritz was inclined to fraternize with our men. In front of our Batt he put up a sign over his trench with the words "Hello Australia" painted on it. Our lads promptly blew it to pieces with their rifles. Our artillery very active through the day & night. One of our patrols surprised an enemy patrol in No Man's Land last night killing 2 & wounding others. A wounded German N.C.O. brought in, who gave our Intelligence Officer much information re enemy plans, movements, etc., on duty 4 to 8 PM.
