Regimental Sergt. Major S. Godfrey & his servant Pte. Boulter are killed in the RSM dugout, CSM Pritchard is badly wounded. A six inch shell penetrates it and smashes dugout to pieces. Boulter’s head is blown clean off.
The rain causes much misery. The exposures to the elements are very trying. German snipers are very accurate & take toll on our men. Pass an awful night in shell hole.
