  Sat Mar 15 1915

   

  To day before Breakfast we did similar

  work as yesterday then Breakfast again

  Porridge Bread & Tea. After Breakfast two

  Companys were marched about 4 miles & put

  into Trenches. The rest of the Battalion then

  had to approach as near as possible & capture

  the trenches. The job being to get as near

  as possible to the trenches without being

  seen by the scouts sent out by the party

  in the Trenches. The worst part about this

  work is the crawling over the ground as

  you don’t know what you are going to meet

  in this Country. We finished to day about 2 –

  o-clock & then Dinner Stew & Rice pudding

  & then had usual we were quite ready for

  our daily rest.
