Sunday May 30 RESERVE GULLY ANZAC COVE

Heavy firing early this morning
in front trenches but have not yet
learned if anything serious occurred.
N.Z. 1. Bg'de is to go into No 3
section of defences relieving an Aust.
Bg'de (West Coast Coy) goes in
today Taranaki tomorrow & so on
as owing to complicated nature of
trenches & position one new company
only per day is to take over.

Weather continues beautifully fine
a splendid climate here but now
getting too hot for work.

I took command of Ruahine Coy
Capt Short taking over my duties
at Batt. Headquarters meantime.
