Battalion war diary entry
The battalion is in action near Mailly-Maillet, between Arras and Amiens
Our bombardment is getting more severe. A 15" Howitzer is quite near us
and is quite busy. We moved into a fox corn on the top ridge behind
MAILLY in the afternoon, as MAILLY was getting really dangerous. We all
made corn of sorts for [illegible] and it was a lovely night.
Killed: 14
Wounded: 34
