There was intermittent shelling, but nothing to cause us any worry.

I stayed till late in the afternoon, when I made my way towards the rear of Hill 60.

There I found the 14th Battalion which was in reserve.

They told me that the 16th Battalion in the line was going to blow up a mine that night, and offered to give me a dugout if I would stay for the festivities.

I gladly accepted, and just before midnight made my way to a dugout that had just been completed.
