The weather has remained fine and settled; it was hot during
the day, and pleasant during the evening. The Battalion was primarily engaged in
training exercises and also in providing large working parties (the Brigade as
a whole provided up to 1,100 men per day) . The evening saw an increase in
artillery activity from both sides, lasting between two and three hours.
