| Entry | Work as on the 15th. The Seconds in Command rode up to have a look at the ground. The Commanding officer motored with the Brigadier to look at LA BOISSELLE. ALBERT was full of troops but no civilians were seen. LA BOISSELLE was a perfect sign of desolation; no wall of the village was left, the trenches were blown in, all the wire was shot away, and the debris of the battle lying about - dead, equipment, rifles, bombs, kit, etc. - the scene was terrible. Our guns had done their work well and the village had been completely destroyed. The fortifications of the Germans were wonderful and some idea of the difficulties our attacking troops had to face could be understood. Weather:- a fine day, showers in the afternoon. |
