| Entry | Work. Cleaning up was continued steadily as before in addition in KAISERIN trench and SAVILE ROW. Between 4 pm and 5.45 pm our area was heavily shelled with field guns, medium howitzers and minenwerfers, the latter firing from the direction of the CORON. Battn (also Battns on right and left) stood to arms from 5 to 5.45 pm. Companies also reinforced their front line taking men from support trenches where most shells were falling. Our artillery replied and bombardment ceased at time stated. No hostile movement followed. Enemy sent up green flare just before bombardment ceased. Bombardment caused considerable damage to second line and communications trenches. During night a small party of 3 to 4 Germans approached No 3 Bombing Post HOGS BACK, but were immediately driven back by our bombers, one being killed and another wounded. Enemy worked on 2nd and 3rd line opposite HOGS BACK during the night. Casualties 5 slightly wounded. |
