[October 17]

Wakened early this morning by Fritz shelling our front line, you would think he was putting up a barrage to come over, we got our equipment on & our rifles ready, also gas helmets expecting some gas shells.  About 5.30 AM we were called out to go on fatigue, we went over two miles back & did 3 trips carrying duck boards over a mile each way.  Quite a number of Fritzs & our Planes overhead.  We got back to our position in supports & after we made a little cocoa we got word to report to Bn H.Q., because 10 Sigs out of 11 had been gassed, reported back & made a bit of a dugout on duty in a Sig Camp from 7 PM till 11.30 PM, laid down & went fast asleep.
