War Diary

1915-08-12
Regiment 1st Royal Berkshire
Location France, CUINCHY SECTION A2
Entry The GOC 6th Inf Bde came round trenches in the morning and suggested a few improvements. A quiet day. The enemy were very offensive during the night, they trench mortared, bombed, sniped and fired rifle grenades at us. We replied and they shut up. Our trench mortars claim to have blown up some Huns, they were aiming at a flag put up in commemoration of WARSAW. Let us hope they had the bigger bag. A carrier pigeon was shot on a brickstack and sent into Bde HQ. Six casualties.
