Monday, 10  June  1918

Fine, with a couple of little showers that hardly laid the dust. About the battery all day. Fritz was registering a 5.9 in on a road inn front of us all the afternoon. At 9.45 pm we opened a bombardment (a creeping barrage) on Fritz as a diversion while the 7th Inf Bde made an attack on the ridge between Morlancourt and Sailly-le-Sec which they captured with 2 officers 231 other ranks as prisoners also a lot of machine guns & trench mortars. They advanced 750 yds  on a 3000 yds  front. The 10th Bde made a raid on our sector as well. I heard my application for special leave had been squashed.
