Wet morning & strong wind. Coys are not able to go out. We get sudden orders about 2.10pm to move into the line again to relieve East Lancs, not at all a good order. Coys move up at 5.15pm.

Fine morning generally. Fritz opens at 6.0am & fires intermittently all day, but I don’t think there was much damage. Hear BOWLER was in Arras but couldn’t see him.
