18.11.1916 We have relieved B. Bty 156 Brigade (Tommy Brigade). Now an S.O.S Bty, now in a very critical position. Guns three miles away. This morning is awfully cold. As far as you can see is as white as a sheet, and a nasty wind is blowing. This is the place for shells, real coal boxes, they just lob on the hill at our rear, a few hundred yards away. Capt Olding reported, at D.A. yesterday, rejoining this Bty.
19.11.1916 Wet night, mud worse than ever. Wagon line shelled at 2 AM. About 50 5.9 inch over One horse in 1st Bty killed otherwise no damage done. Bombardment at 2 oclock this evening. Very little rest in this wagon line. Big guns about here, very close, shooting all night.
20.11.1916 Wagon line shelled again last night.
