Wed 13th [14th] Stand to Arms. At 3 am then told to carry on till 4 am. To move off at 8.30 am for Popes Post Up packs & moved off. Many got to top of hill & some half way then were told all to go back again as we were not wanted & so back again to our possies & unpack. This is the best our Heads (!) can do after 11 months of it. Waste of mens strength & temper in this heat.
