Regiment 6th Royal Berkshire
Location France, La Boisselle
Entry Rain continued to fall during the night and the trenches were blocked in many places. Telephone wires come down, as the walls give way & every man that could be taken from other duties is working on the repairing the parapets - cleaning out the floors of the trenches, & restoring such shelters as collapsed during the night. The Signal Section are working on the wires. The brigadier visited the trenches - and was shown around by Lt Col Dowell. During the evening more of the trenches fell in & were dealt with at once. The enemy were fairly active with rifle grenades & Machine-Guns about 7pm.
