A normal day with very little doing in my line; theatre busy, however, over 100 coming through during the night, mostly shrapnel cases as our fellows are in the open a lot. Morris turned up to see me but I was away. Had a look at the ruins of the Town Hall, and found them still digging in the hope of saving the remainder, the debris being carted away to fill in the mine craters at the various cross-roads.
Had a roam over the fields just on dusk in a snow storm and came on some interesting relics of Fritz’s occupation. Gun pits, stables, trenches,observation towers, etc. Saw motor lorries taking up what sleepers Fritz had left behind, they being pressed into immediate service for our own line, now pushing up with great dispatch.
