Diary Entry - 13th May, 1916

This day was spent with the detached section and, as it rained hard and blew most of the time, I was in the dugout the greater part of it. However, I faced the tree about three times and tried to observe some rounds, but I was too taken up with holding on to do much observing. Major Carrington of the Staff came round in the evening (Major Mowbray's successor), with the DC, Greig, and they had a look at the position.
