went to inspect the batteries.
They fired two rounds for our
benefit. Fired at German plane
while there. German plane droped
bomb on a regiment of soldiers
in the road about 15 minutes
before we passed and killed
eighty of them. Got home
about 3 P.M. Had lots of trouble
with the motor.

P.S. The evening of our first
night in camp we were initiated
to our first shell fire. Ernie
Deshane & I went on the hill
to see the firing. Just about
to leave for camp when search
lights (16 of them) started to play
in the sky and looked very much
like the search lights at the
P.P.I.E. Soon star bombs were
sent up and anti air guns
