Wednesday[gap — reason: illegible] QUINN'S POST

Just before dawn a bombardment
with grenades & bombs took place
but this is quite an ordinary
occurrence now. No casualties resulted
and we destroyed a good deal of the
enemys parapet & overhead cover.

9 am West Coast Coy again relieved
Ruahine & we returned to bivouac
in local reserve. Today one
our aeroplanes dropped three 100
lb bombs on Turk trenches in
front of Quinns' Post doing
considerable damage. Enemy
as on previous occasions wasted
a lot of ammunition trying to
hit the machine. (Sinking of
H.M.S. Canopus off Cape Helles by
submarine was unofficially
received here today)Rumour Very
severe bombardment of Achi Baba
goes on at intervals & was
particularly audible from here
today.
