Still on sap. This was deep enough now for shelter, but I did not like them. I once saw men digging their pals out. The mouth of the sap had been blown in, 10 men had been buried alive and were dead before they could be reached.

Great news. Brigade being relieved, 14 days rest. Coldstream Band playing in the village.

Twelve horses killed and nine wounded. One tent had its pole cut through 12in from the ground: cut as clean as though with a saw.

Not a thankful job cleaning up the mess in the horse lines.
