"There are 3 of them esses toe 315 and one pip C" - Message on phone.
28/8/17 - In dugout in Owl Trench near Gapard Farm, Messines.
I have just returned from Ration Carrying. We had a very lively time as Fritz evidently saw our Mule train coming over the ridge in the Moon light & gave us shells & machine gun fire hitting two mules but luckily missing my party.
We deepened our trench during the past few days, revetted & drained a good deal of it. Last night we were carrying kneedeep in water for a considerable distance but our draining & duckboarding today made our track fairly dry for tonight. A captain & Corporal of - - have just been making preliminary arrangements for taking over from us tomorrow night.
