[Thursday 3 August]

Moved up to the firing line at 1.30 P.M.- 2nd dose?

Shortly after we got there we had a Sgt. killed & 1 man wounded by one of our own big shells falling short. You get hit here both from the front & rear.

We were lucky in getting up to the trenches without a casualty as the shells were going all round us. You can't get away from them wherever you are about here.

We had a very rough time in the night. Fritz whipped them in all round us & we were due to "go up" any minuit. Yet in spite of it all I fell asleep about daylight. I was quite surprised to find that I was all right after the way they were blowing things about when I went to sleep.
