Sunday 17th June 1917
Everything
has continued very quiet for 1st/5th Battalion in support south of Gaza. Most
days about four shells, which the troops nickname “pipsqueaks”, of about
fifteen pounder field gun calibre are sent over Flint Redoubt and one or two
near Welch Redoubt, but so far no one has been hit by their shrapnel. During
the hours of darkness a certain number of "overs" come near Battalion
Headquarters bivouacs, but these are less frequent and barricades of sandbags
together with an order issued to keep men not on duty in their bivouacs, have
prevented any more casualties.
