Carried up rations to West Lancshires. Awful job--sacks very heavy. Man in front of me shot in chest coming away. Carried him into cover and fetched stretcher bearers. TUESDAY, _May 11, 1915_ Sand bags to firing line after spending quiet day. Our dugouts shelled during day and three men hit. WEDNESDAY, _May 12, 1915_ Good news! We are to be relieved to-night. Left dugouts at 10:30 and reached camp at 5 A. M. weary and happy. THURSDAY, _May 13, 1915_, to THURSDAY, _May 20, 1915_ Most enjoyable week’s rest in camp at Locre. Did nothing of any importance and heard no guns and had no shells over. Felt all the better for it, but has gone all too quickly. FRIDAY, _May 21, 1915_ Moved to huts nearer firing line and once more in sound of guns. Rotten! SATURDAY, _May 22, 1915_ Moved further up into dugouts and are now back in line once more. SUNDAY, _May 23, 1915_ Quiet day, but hard at work all night. Germans attacked 2 A. M. Monday morning and used gas. Horrible stuff. On our way to dugouts had fifteen in front of me knocked out by a shell. Awful sight and very upsetting. MONDAY, _May 24, 1915_ Quiet day spent in recovering from effects of gas. Hard at work again all night. TUESDAY, _May 25, 1915_ Remarks of yesterday apply to to-day. Hope this comparative calm continues whilst we are up. WEDNESDAY, _May 26, 1915_ Shelled on way to dugouts, early morning, with shrapnel but luckily no casualties. Evening left dugouts for fire trenches at St. Eloi. Arrived at midnight and relieved the Liverpool Scottish. Quiet night. THURSDAY and FRIDAY, _May 27, 1915_, and _May 28, 1915_ Two quiet days in trenches. Nothing doing beyond sniping. Friday evening we left trenches for reserve line in a wood. SATURDAY and SUNDAY, _May 29, 1915_, and _May 30, 1915_ Two lazy days in wood. On Saturday night carried rations to trenches, and on Sunday returned to trenches for another spell. MONDAY, _May 31, 1915_ TUESDAY, _June 1, 1915_ WEDNESDAY, _June 2, 1915_ THURSDAY, _June 3, 1915_ Four days on detached post connecting Queen Victoria Rifles with West Kents. Thursday night returned to supporting line about two hundred yards behind fire trenches. FRIDAY and SATURDAY, _June 4, 1915_, and _June 5, 1915_ On fatigue duty in supports; both days improving communication trench. Returned to woods Saturday night. SUNDAY and MONDAY, _June 6, 1915_, and _June 7, 1915_ Two days spent in reserve in woods. Quite enjoyed the rest from bullets and shells. TUESDAY, _June 8, 1915_ WEDNESDAY, _June 9, 1915_ THURSDAY, _June 10, 1915_ FRIDAY, _June 11, 1915_ Four days spent in fire trenches. Nothing doing much beyond sniping, except last two days when we were shelled by pretty heavy stuff. Not much damage done. June 24, 1915 MRS. STUBBS:
