Saturday, 30  March 1918

Fine & raining by turns all day. I was the orderly officer for the day. Fritz put a pretty good barrage over our right in the morning & attacked, but the infantry cut him to pieces & he retired. A stray shell (4.2) fell about 6 yards from No 6 gun & knocked out the whole detachment. Tom Walker was killed, Bill Hunter wounded slightly, Jack Hunter wounded badly,  Jim Gannon had his ankle smashed, & Piper was wounded in the ankle. It was hard luck but could not be helped. I got several letters & a packet of handkerchiefs from Eileen.

25th Battery brought down a Fritz plane with their Lewis gun.
