| Regt marched from X Beach to firing line & took over that part of the firing line known as
C & D Coys & 2 maxims in firing line, B Coy in support, A Coy & 2 maxims in reserve. A tremendous lot of work was required on the trenches, the parapet in most places not being bullet proof, trenches too narrow & not deep enough, no proper snipers loopholes & sanitary arrangements non existent.<br>
This work was put in hand at once & good progress made during the day. The enemy appeared to have gained the upper hand in sniping but four of them were picked off almost immediately we had taken over & since then we have gradually reasserted ourselves.<br>
