Long remembered day. Felt rotten all morning. Then took black pills at lunch. Hoped to get off duty but another officer to
hospital so pulled myself together and went in trenches 2-5 with working
party. Heaviest shelling so far. Dust of bullets very near in trench. Made men take cover. 50 shells in half an hour. Todd, my servant killed. Splendid fellow. Great loss to all. More fatigue at night. Every man taken on duty 7-9 and 1-3. Very tired (opium pill made me sleepy) but
feel better.
