| Entry | 2/Lieut A WHITFIELD MC assumed command. The position was heavily bombarded during the morning and afternoon, but the casualties were light. The enemy were apparently using their new light low mounted field gun, most of the shells from this gun being blind and ricocheting. Enemy Patrols and Posts were driven out by our fire and action, and our snipers were very busy. Corpl POVEY fired 150 founds with his rifle, obtaining many hits, before he was killed by a hostile sniper. The night was fairly quiet with the exception of MG fire. |
