Poor young Lyness died this a.m. early. I’m very sorry at his loss. Went over to see transport this morning, and lunched with the Bde. The 109^th are on the move going from one flank of the Div to the other; so silly, these little moves. They knock the heart out of people. You’ve just got your little bit improved and lots of plans and projects under way, when you move on and have to begin again. The 13^th [Royal Irish Rifles] wanted a working party, but I really would not be good natured at the expense of the men. Usual afternoon gun fire going on.
