Sept 14 – 24th

Arrived back in camp just outside Poperinghe and stayed there until the 25th supplying digging parties at night which went up from Poperinghe to Ypres by train. As I was assistant Orderly Sgt. the first week and Orderly Sgt. on my own second week I did not go digging.

On the night of the 20th the train was shelled. Seven of our men were hit and a number of the Durhams; this is the only time I think that a working party of ours has suffered.
