| Entry | Fire trenches S.E of Suvla Bay Tremendous thunderstorm at night. All supports were digging new fire trench in front of lines. Water soon burst high in many places swept down communication trenches washed away parapets and a number of kits, blankets and other equipment. The night was bitterly cold and the men stood on the crumbling banquettes and tried to build up parapet. Water was still deep in trenches at dawn and owing to cookhouse being flooded fire and fires almost impossible conditions were deplorable. Remarks: Heavy Storm and floods |
