The War Diary for today records. TRENCHES CAMBRIN RIGHT. Day very cold a few enemy trench mortars fell on our left posts but were immediately silenced by our artillery retaliation. Unusually large amount of aerial activity, both sides flying low. Both sides sniping and enemy again obtained a hit wounding two men of the right Coy. Figures show up very clearly against the snow background and both sides are making use of crate ups for observation and sniping posts. 2nd Lt ASHER went to Army Sniping School. During the afternoon enemy were very quiet except for a few -?- on the right. All tanks and pipes are now frozen so water has to be sent up with rations or carried
from the well in JUNCTION KEEP, a long way. The night was darker and the wiring of CURRIN TRENCH completed without mishap.
