Very wet morning, but fine later. Concert again postponed on account of weather.

Wet miserable day no chance to do anything.

Wet day & very windy, nothing much doing. Estaminets put out of bounds for 3 days on account of misbehaviour.

My birthday, very nice day, we have a nice tea out in the field & enjoy it, afterwards have a quiet drink . Sgt Joe Miller comes to see me, he is in the MT ASC [Motor Transport Army Service Corps] looks well.

Fine day. Bttn [Battalion] spends the day in cleaning up.

We get orders to move to Bailleul. I have to go into Schramm Bks [Barracks] for spare kit. Fritz sends a good few over but does very little damage. We get to Bailleul about 4.0pm, very good billet, nice bed & have a nice sleep.

Fine day again, lots more prisoners. Aircraft still active. Bttn [Battalion] comes out to Fosse Farm at night, nice night but Fritz very busy, no casualties.

Fine day. Attack starts early, heaps of prisoners, news very good indeed. Aircraft very active.

Fine day, everything active above & below.

Fine day, plenty of aircraft & shelling. Lt Bateman goes away & Hankey takes over.
