This left about 40 who had cleared off in all directions to take cover from the shellings & they turned up this morning.

Civilians are moving back & we are under orders to supply cars to evacuate aged civilians from Bailleul which is being heavily shelled. Most of the C.C.S.'s are full today so the shelling must be very general & we have reports of places being shelled 20 odd miles back. Tonight
