Another heavy day, over 200 on sick parade, and admitted 40. Collected the drugs and issued nearly all of them during the afternoon. The work kept two of us going hard all day. Had a look at the village at night and found the place packed with men of all regiments and races, a motley crowd. The traffic was very great and took some controlling. Good reports about our men in the line, all objectives said to be gained and held, a fair number of prisoners have filtered back. Had two mishaps during the day, one motor driver fell and hurt an eye and our dispatch rider was knocked down and had his leg broken by a motor lorry both being evacuated. The majority of our bearers went up to the line to-day, we expect to follow any day, being at present between 12 and 14 miles behind the front line.
