From there we find our way under shell & MG fire for many a weary mile of trench & utterly broken up ground, dying of thirst, very hungry & very shaken & unstrung, back to this place of rest were only occasional shells bother us.
On getting back we get hot tea, the first hot food for many days & something to eat & are then able to stretch ourselves out a luxurious full length it may be on wet muddy ground with only a coat on a ground sheet but still at full length & let us ourselves go to sleep.
Well that is already past & we are now preparing to clean up a very hot job wh others have failed in but it is quite poss. that we shall not be needed to attack.
