I signed on at 3 oclock for an Emergency run & stood by until tea time when I had to take several trucks of Ammunition up to Reigersberg Siding (Gas Shells) after making a good run & placing the trucks in the Siding I received further orders to go further up past the Canal for to bring back two trucks of Duck Boards, & off I went & on arrival at Reigersberg Nth there were no pilot there so as it is not permissible for two trains to proceed over the Canal I had to return to Regersberg & then was ordered to go back to Trou Trois Siding & pick up a full load of Empties for Peselhoek. After waiting line clear for some time I was let go & soon arrived at the Siding & we had to pick up a lot of trucks on one road & put them on another when my train was complete, this siding is used to unload the shells from the Broad Gauge into the Light Railways. After several delays I eventually arrived back at 12.40 am
