Have been salvaging rifles, overcoats, box respirators, P.H. Helmets, picks shovels ammunition, bombs, magazines for Lewis guns, steel helmets, and dozens of useful articles today - & every day. - There are thousands of pounds worth of salvage lying everywhere. We buried a few Germans & one of our own unknown men - apparently killed here and partly buried by shells over a month ago.
Our dugout is inside a room of an old farm which has been blown to pieces on top of dugout, thus forming a good head cover. An old German dugout in which they once had electric lights.
The trenches are very smelly & sloppy in many places.
Capt Browning arrived last night (O.C. "C" Coy) Major Marks - arrived today.
Writing to J. & my people.
Received letter from George on leave in England, also from Roy Woods in pioneers
