Sunday, 3 June 1917

Fine & hot. Working about the pits all day & had a good sleep.  Just as we finished tea Fritz lobbed a 10 in. shell about 10 yards away & we all got covered in mud getting cover. We evacuated the position then & got in some drains about 50 yards to a flank & he poured the 10 inchers in wholesale till he started lobbing them in our drains when we beat another strategic retreat & wherever we went he followed us. Just on dark he had us penned up in an angle of a creek & he started putting gas shells in & kept at it all night & we camped on the grass in our shirt sleves with our gas masks on till morning & it was the worst night I ever spent.
