Sat'dy Aug 12 Hot. Watched 11 aeroplanes working tog'r & being shelled. At night moved up to Bn H.Q. Dropped off at Scottish Wood. No one there but cook. Sand bag bomb proof - quite comfortable but in easy reach of guns.
Sund 13 Major Latta Maj Graham & Capt Andrews returned from trenches 6 am. Slack day. Batteries everywhere firing intermittently. Looked over the neighbourhood scenes of land conflicts. All country full of shell holes but not recent. Vourmazeil [Voormezele] convent & gate where PPCLI Man s'd to have been crucified. At night handed over 12 Pl C Co & all went for night to [illegible] trench. Heavy firing on the front & on batteries behind but only bullets in our trench. German whiz bangs v. impressive.
