Hill Sixty shelling interrupts unit at dusk
A platoon on reconstruction work in the Hill Sixty support line faced repeated enemy shellfire. An artillery barrage forced a retreat to safety three minutes before each expected round, but a later interval left the trench exposed and Dark, the company dog, buried by a shell. After rescue, he cursed the timing with a sharp remark. Nearby a separate note describes Chinese cricket fighting as a popular sport with jars of fighting insects weighed before battle and victors recorded in gold.
