A quiet morning. A few minenwerfer came over at 3 am, 5 am and 8.15 am but our artillery quickly silenced them. The enemy put up notices announcing the fall of NOVO GEORGEVITCH.

We called on our field battery to fire two rounds at 8.20pm on hostile working party. The enemy yelled. 2/Lt Blazey 2/Lt Jackson joined the Battalion. 1 Sgt and 20 men joined Battn. |
