the job is done and it was really cruel 
<lb/> coming along the trench before and when it's
<lb/> finished it will be all boarded with <del>cl</del>wire
<lb/> netting along the sides and stays every yard with
<lb/> smaller ones in between to prevent the sides falling
<lb/> in. It ought to last some time &#x2014; though really I don't
<lb/> know whether anything will hold out long against
<lb/> the rain. <del>Will</del> We are billeted just beside where
<lb/> I was with the advance party and I am sleeping 
<lb/> in the same place as before &#x2014; very comfortable
<lb/> with a nice stove. We start out at 8 .0 and work
<lb/> till 3.0. when we come home &amp; have dinner and
<lb/> are finished for the day &#x2014; a fairly long spell but
<lb/> much better than the way they did it before when
<lb/> they came all the way down for dinner and
<lb/> then all the way back again; another party came
<lb/> in last night which brings the total to nearly 120.
<lb/> So if only the weather takes up we ought to be able
<lb/> to get on well with the work. There's another
<lb/> Officer on another job here. So I'm not alone of an 
<lb/>evening. But still I shall be remarkably glad when
<lb/> I get back to the battery again. I shall then I expect take 
<lb/> my turn of duty with the rest as the telephone system
<lb/> is pretty will fixed and won't want much attention
<lb/> in a place like this.The day seems to have taken up a bit
<lb/> now (3.30 pm) it has stopped raining and isn't looking so bad.
<lb/> I suppose one can't expect much more decent weather
<lb/> now. I am grand myself as I hope all are at home.</p>
