A little rain again, did nothing myself but the new orderly officer put a few men to work on the riveting so apparently he is going to run it himself in the future especially now that there are three General Duty Sgts. available. Did a little reading and writing and sent some papers home. Fritz shelling all round us and we have had several casualties in.The line is much more active now and our planes appear to have the air well in hand.
We have been warned that Fritz is sending over large gas shells up to 9 inch and the heads apparently expect much from him in that respect. Gas drill now on every day. Fritz was over bombing last night but did not hit the village. The people here (Dranontre) rather a good class lot and speak perfect English altho’ many cannot speak French. There are many 1914 graves in the place.
