Dossed down in a shallow ravine

29th October [1916] Sunday

Ordered 1 pm to rejoin ‘D’ Coy re-formed today and report to Capt Stapleton in charge. Went up 7 pm and found the nucleus of the Coy – 2 officers (Stapleton and myself), 3 sergeants (Kenyon, Wray, and Marsh), 2 Lance Cpls (Maloney and Holden) and about twelve men! Dossed down in a shallow ravine near CIDEMLI. Glad to get my old servant Wood back.
