3rd Battalion Diary – 16 July 1915
Work on the new firing line pushing on
with as much as possible. Owing to the heavy outside fatigues and the
“run down “ state of the men prevents us from pushing on with this work
as fast as we would like. So far the enemy has shown no exception to
our opening up. Crater caused by the explosion of mines just in front
oh our new left flank is at present disputed ground, both sides
attempting to occupy it.
