1916: 19th August - Private A.H. King wrote...


Went up in reserve again on Saturday August 19th.  
At 12P.M. that night we started off with some wire for the R.E.’s to Sky line trench.  We had 5 or 6 R.E.’s with us and 3 of these got knocked out by a shell on the way up.  After a struggle, we found the trench, which was a new one just started, and we had to go on digging there until 7A.M.
