5 November 1915

The battalion is in northern France, midway between Amiens and Arras.

Misty early, some rain later, but it held up, though it was dull threatening. Continued work as on 5th [sic] Nov, early mist helped us a lot. 48th Div bombarded Germans on our left, but without causing retaliation on us.
