Dec. 27th.
Morning, getting ready to move.
Moved at 2 p.m. Raining.
Got into trenches at 4.30 p.m. In reserve, 1500 yards from enemy—and a nice change for B Co.
At night I went on patrol with a man to find a way across country to A Co., who were holding a line to our right front. Awful going, but got there. Came back by road through —— village and Danger Corner. Out two and a half hours.
Slept as well as I could on a narrow board till 7.30 next morning.
Dec. 28th.
Quiet day. Went out at night with C.O. Got lost, and were out three hours. Good joke.
Dec. 29th.
Quiet day. Went out in the morning on voyage of discovery round old trenches. Went in to the left shoulder in mud and water. Another good joke!
