  got down and had a look round it was

  awful as the trench was full of dead

  and wounded and No Mans Land was

  Absolutely covered with dead and

  Wounded I thought what a terrible

  Price to Pay for a Bit of trench or

  Ground and we were kept very busy

  all night dressing the Wounded and

  getting Waterbottles from the dead

  and giving to  the Wounded for Water

  was Heartbreaking it was easy now

  to go out there and see to them as the

  Firing had died right away only a

  Stray Bullet now and again went through

  the Air and it was a very hot night

  May the 26th 1915 and I done a very silly

  thing I gave my own Water away to one

  of the wounded not thinking about my

  self the Fellows who were badly hit

  were going mad for Water so I might

  say they kept us busy but the sight

  of some of there Wounds was Awful we

  had a very terrible night as about every

  2 Hours the Germans sent out a very

  large Listening Patrol and as they came

  along we thought they were going to

  counter attach and take their Line

  Back which kept us very busy on the

  Fire step anyway I supose they were

  wondering wether we were going to

  advance Farther on but we Intendin ... 

  Staying here as we had now Straightened

  the Line in this Lectern of Trenches
