Entry # 32 April 6th 1916
We had a frightful bombardment. Our chaps had to get out in front of their own wire for safety, as our front line was badly shattered. Fritz started the fund but artillery finished it. It was like daylight while it lasted. We had a brave few casualties, but not half as many as Fritz, according to her own aero-planes. It was only due to the steady fire of the battalion That Fritz was held back. In some fellows fired until the rifles were red-hot. We were mentioned in dispatches for this nights work.
