*In the front line. "Two batteries, 18-pounders, one battery trench mortars, and some 4.5 howitzers, H.E. shells, all on to 100 yards of German front.

Guns then started at us from behind their line, and they sent a lot of shells all about us; luckily only one man hit." – [[Percy Wilfred Machell|Lt-Col. P.W.
