Gas drill all the morning, getting very monotonous altho’ very necessary. Went into Arques to find the 18th in the afternoon, but found that they had shifted and the Colonel was in England, so therefore went into St. Omer. Had a couple of hours there and had a look at some old Church ruins. Did a little shopping and arrived back about 5.30. Had tea in the village by invitation and had a splendid evening. Shelling very heavy once more, the sky being lit by continuous flashes, Star shells also prominent.
