"The Attack"
I was going to win easily as we seemed 3 goals in quick succession in the first half. But "The defence" got through once in the first halg & twice in the 2nd. Chiefly because the C.O was not great as a goal keeper. He couldn't stop anything. Still it was very sporting of him to turn out & I think the result, a draw 3-3 was the best we could have.

We couldn't fire to day as the Pionies??? Sergt had run out of cardboard & so could not make any targets for Practice 19.

D. Coy?? left for Attack this morning & qw commenced Classification to-day which was unfortunate as the "Thick Night" last night did not improve the men's shooting to-day.
No Butt officer arrived so I went into the Butt's myself, which strictly is of course agst regulations.
We finished on the Range about 3/30 & I up to Tea at the G.D. Mess, & wrote my mail after it Consequently I did not have overmuch time and "the Diary" had to suffer.
