Dull day – A couple of our men suffering from nerves & insomnia – so had to go & relieve them at Foray House – Very busy during the night – had some bad cases – The Boys gave Fritz particular – Made some complaints about some inconveniences we had to put up with. Have been promised they will be rectified & the wounded will benefit accordingly.

Raining – Mud & slush everywhere – Back again at Convent Avenue. Fritz putting over a lot of big stuff to no advantage – one dud dangerously near our 6 x 8 – made it rock some.
The Boys made a mess of "Fritz's" parapet with the pudding bombs – One call at night.
