Another busy day, but easy for myself as another dispenser turned upon the scene. Managed to write a couple of letters home. Had a stroll round the village at night also witnessed a soccer match, a very good game indeed. The place is packed with soldiers of all description. Witnessed a beautiful sight at night. Several taubes were over and our searchlights got on to two of them. About 9 or 10 beams of light all concentrated on the plane and it showed up like a golden beetle. The aircraft guns boomed out and the machine guns poured in a stream of bullets all to no purpose. Their bullets or some of them are luminous and they can be seen going through the air.
