War Diary

1916-01-02
Regiment 5th Royal Berkshire
Location France, In the Trenches
Entry 'B' at work on Old British Line south of the Cailloux Road - our own bit. At night Lieut Warner and 2 men made an excellent reconnaissance of a German Barrier across Cailloux Road opposite the left of our line. The ground was very muddy and mostly covered with water which we were unable to drain off. An Extra Pump sent to A Coy to enable them to pump out water from trench onto ground in front.
