Went up on my Observation post

1st December 1916 Friday

Up at Orderly Room about 4 men who absented themselves on the line of march. They all got F.P. No.1.
Went up on my Observation post and saw the ground round me. In front at the foot of our steep hills a little plain and then the great sheer wall of the Belashicza mountains … Very foggy yesterday and today, and cold. All the little oak trees dripping. This part very like parts of Wicklow.
