Later on arrival got instructions to proceed to Battery. Waited till nightfall to move up to the position succeeded in reaching position safely although Fritz sent a few shells amongst us. But we had to take the wagon with rations via another route & this led us into trouble. We ran into shells galore, blowing up of ammunition dumps & not forgetting gas shells. It was a lively half hour & was much relieved when we made our way back
