Wet again, everywhere in a bad state, we get a sump hole dug in our dug out & run some of the water off. Sides start to fall in & we are kept pretty busy, but fix in up fairly well. Officers of 2nd Lincolns come up in afternoon to look round & don’t find the place very pleasant. Rain & mist all day. Heavy shelling on front line. No casualties.
