Sunday 25/7/15. MINE GULLY

As per usual. A few heavy bursts
were heard from the firing line during
the night and our Howitzers kept the
enemy on edge, but nothing of serious
nature occurred. We are rather disappointed
that the Turks have not attacked as we
hoped to have the satisfaction of dusting
them up again and of probably then
following on with an attack ourselves.

Now nearly completed anti-cholera
inoculation of our battalion. This has
had to be carried out as circumstances
permitted. It is quite voluntary but
very few objections have been found.

During the past four nights our
battalion has “stood to arms” in
general reserve for half an hour each
night during period before moonset,
but nothing in nature of attack
has occurred. Combined service by
Presbyterian Minister held at 7.30 pm
