War Diary

1915-01-29
Regiment 1st Royal Berkshire
Location France, RUE DE L'EPINETTE
Entry A fine day, bright sun and hard frost. Enemy's aircraft very active. Four low shallow trenches each about 100yds long were constructed half way between forward and reserve companies, as a support pivot or resting place for reinforcements. A slight fall of snow and a bright moon made movement very conspicuous. An explosion followed by shouts and groans was heard behind the German lines near the LA QUINQUE RUE road.
