Saw a lot of things and got back to camp

1st September 1916 Friday

Early morning parade. Bombing lecture 6 am.
Day very hot though cloudy.
Went up 1 pm with Haynes, Tyler and Humphries to ARDZAN to see the line and reconnoitre the approaches. Saw a lot of things and got back to camp in a sandstorm at 7pm.
Heavy thunder storm from 7.30 all through the night. Most wonderful lightning, high wind and considerable rain. Many bivouacs blown down but not mine.
