Diary Entry - 8th August, 1916

I spent the morning at 13th Corps or M M dump, which is a big rail siding about 300 yards from the Mess. I was collecting 7 and 8 by 3 and also cupolas. The last named articles were very difficult to get but, after almost weeping to the 2MS[?] about the lives that were being lost at the gun line, I got him to give me eight pieces, which he had covering up some goods in the yard. The Brigade Padre turned up to lunch and stopped. I think he is going to live here now. Hoyland got back from Amiens about seven, having brought a lot of supplies up with him in the Mess cart for the guns.
