'Friday, 25 June[.] Raining, and we are sheltering in dugouts in the trenches we are repairing. Been out six weeks now under shellfire more or less the whole time; to work every day, there is nothing to distinguish one day from another. Up at 6, start away 8, return at 5, turn in 9. Confined to camp every evening — just lounge and read. Change of locality and work the only matters of interest.'
