Billets between Zudausques and Boisdinghem.
The weather remained very wet, with heavy rain continuing
all day and through the night. Brig. Genl. Lambert
(see 1st August) again
reflected on the problems caused by the heavy rain, “Here everything is in mud
or water. It is exceptionally bad luck that it should have come on just on the
day the big offensive started for the ground must be quite impossible to work
on in this weather and the men must be having a rotten time”.
2Lt. Stanley Reginald
Wilson (see 23rd January)
