Large sick parade in the morning from the 13th Brigade. Midday our planes brought down a Fritz & had the Pilot, a sgtmajor & the observer in as patients. The observer died during the afternoon but the pilot was not badly wounded & was sent on to the C.C.S. later. Both spoke good English. Also had in several wounded from around the village as he was putting several shells over. Out transport moved out for safety about a mile away for the sake of the horses. Several tanks passing through during the evening so it looks as if something is expected.
