Enemy planes came over about seven thirty this morning, but no mountain battery to open fire on her. News came in this morning that the Turks were shelling Hill 100, and later they were reported to be advancing in force on Katia and the Anzacs falling back.
Stood by at the guns for the rest of the day, but I think they won’t attack before dawn tomorrow. We’ve made a new F.O.O. which commands a much better view of our zone. We are in readiness now to turn out a mobile column. They are pretty certain to send one out tomorrow I should think, if the Turks entrench at Katia.
Franklyn is back from hospital, but the major doesn’t think he is fit enough to go out, so I shall be taking the right section into action tomorrow if we go out and Franklyn shows no signs of being fitter.
The men are as keen as mustard and longing to get out at the Turk. I am just off to the F.O.O.
