Sat up all night in a mud hole to keep from freezing. fire going, very cold & damp Sat Nov 18. Took a case up to Bells Pit at 6 AM just as we were leaving for Bells Pit. our barrage started at 6 A.M. looked a very pretty sight, back OK not much fire from the Huns. Sent to Sunken Road to relieve a squad that had been working all night, 18 inches of mud on the Sunken Rd & Shell holes galore, leveled over & had to be found by sliding into them, nice place to work. (I dont think) The 38 have been over & can’t get their prisoners out.
Sunday Nov 19. Still working between the Sunken Rd & Creightonville. the mud & slush is simply awful Fritz is banging hell out of us. & Casualties start to come thro. also a bunch of Huenie prisoners. 4th got lost in C.T.s last night & caught in a C.T. & shelled to pieces. I grab a sack of shell dressings & start to work on the 48th boys. awful work in the mud with Huenie slamming
