War Diary

Regiment 1st Royal Berkshire
Location France, SOUCHEZ
Entry Minenwerfers were sent over on our extreme left about 9am. The position of the battery was observed and our artillery fired on it during the morning. We were not troubled with it again. Everything quiet. On our right a mine was exploded at 7pm and heavy bombardment ensued. Same working parties were supplied as previous night. Cleaning trenches and wiring continued. A very wet night.
