One of the 11th boys - Gordon Gregg - gives me his bed + I turn in just about fed up. Friday Nov 2nd G. Turner does not get me out at 2:30 + puts a batman in my place, a bunch of the 5th Can Fld Amb go up with our boys to take over. Still breath badly feel tough. my heels are very tender + sore. loaf around all day + at dusk a lorry takes back what is left of the 103 that came up. It took five lorries to take us into this scrap, but we all get into one to go back. we leave 9 boys, a captain + a batman behind us to show the 5th the ropes. We reach the C.R.S at Holleboak + find a supper waiting for us. I could not eat any supper but I had some lovely mail to devour. The fellows who had not been in the line nearly shook our hands off to see us back. We sent 103 boys into the line + we had 47 casualties the chief ones I can now remember are.
