Sat Aug 26th
Up at 7.30. breakfast of bacon etc nothing in the way of duty doing.
I took a walk out towards the line of trenches a vast mass of shell holes being constantly played on by shells from the enemy. On returning we were given duty unloading and carrying the patients into the dressing room.
There are a good number of casualties comming in but fortunately not many deaths. Our bearers (6th) have just returned from the trenches (being releived) and look a sorry lot with about an inch of beard.
We have just received orders to leave for our H.Q. in cars & arrived at noon Badencourt to take up duties there.
