Drizzled most of the day. Bombardment continuing. De Lisle looked in at about 10am. Last night the 36th Divn in their raid brought back 1 officer 1 NCO and 11men prisoners. The Newfoundland Bn (88th Brigade) carried out a raid from our trenches but failed to get through the wire. The 86th Bde had wire-cutting patrols out, an NCO of one of these parties looked into the German frontline trench and found it fully occupied. None of these parties had any casualties. Went into Acheux in a divn car at about 12 midday to make arrangements for tonight as the 86th Bde have 3 raids on, the Newfoundlanders one, and the Borders one; besides these there are a lot of wire cutting parties out. They are all going out between 12 and 1am, during which hour our guns will not fire on the german frontline trenches.
