January 16th 1915
Back in the trenches again we have got some territorials with us this time so it looks as if we are going to get relieved from this position, I guess we shall go to get another position ready for the next lot of terrors, they have got the range of these trenches, they were shelling heavily this am one shell put 2 of our men out, one of them had just got the news about his childs death and that his wife was dying, bad luck, the G’s have brought some more guns up. The weather is still bad making it impossible to advance yet.
