2.30 p.m.—Heavy rain all night, but fine today, cloudy and cooler. Have to go now to Bde. H.Q. to try and find out things. Six more men just come in, four of whom were with us before.

10.00 p.m.— As far as I can gather from Bde. Office we go back to Varennes on June 1^st. Had a long chat with old Bernard, who goes in to our bit of the line tonight, and gave him various bits of information. He is rather an old dear. Padre went fishing, accompanied by Pratt and Berry, with a May fly—result, one rise! Day turned out fine and warmer. Hope it will be fine again now. Everything very ‘lifty’ but drying.
