few of our planes up through the day, one being under very heavy M.G. fire at 11 AM over enemy lines. One of our men had his arm broken today by one of our own shells (a "flying pig" on heavy TM [Trench Mortar]) that fell short & did not explode. Our guns have been going strong all day.

Weather still freezing & whole front under snow. Enemy shelling our trenches day & night with HE & shrapnel. Sending big "Minnies" [minenwerfer] over into our front line. At 2 AM our heavy TMs in action, & through day 18 pdrs busy.
