| Entry | 8:30AM.The Second in Command and Company Commanders visited the trenches to arrange the final dispositions of their companies. 6:0PM. The gas fatigue party did not return from the trenches so their rations and packs were sent to BOIS MARQUET (near ALLOVAGNE). 2:30PM. Battalion paraded on bombing ground to watch an exhibition of smoke bombs. Experiments were made to see if men could advance in the smoke without being seen. The results were very satisfactory and all agreed that the smoke bombs would be most useful to conceal an unprotected flank. |
