Saturday 27th April
Had a very busy morning.
The 60th Btn hopped over to straighten out the line & copped very heavy although. The operation was a success. The remainder of the day was quiet & ordinary & I even had time to wash a couple of shirts & socks and write a letter in the evening. No papers though or news so things must be very quiet.
Sunday 28th April
A very quiet day for wounded. Very busy in the morning arranging two rooms so as to be able to carry on operations
