Monday 3rd January 1916

Front line trenches north of Rue du Bois.

The weather remained good and artillery duels continued. The British “sent a good number of shells in to the enemy lines” and in response the Germans sent a number of large shells into Chapelle d’Armentieres. They also shelled a Battalion working party who were constructing a dressing station immediately behind HQ at Farm du Biez; the working party dispersed without casualties despite the detonation of six ‘whizz-bangs’. Company officers were instructed to keep a particular look out for German machine guns and information on the position of a number of them was reported to Brigade. Overnight, conditions remained quiet.

L.Cpl. William Munday (see 18th October 1915) began to be paid according to his rank, having previously held his appointment unpaid.
Pte. Patrick Conley (see 10th June 1915) departed on one week leave to England.
