Charles Robert Bottomley: March 21, 1918
Cleaning around gun. Fired a few rounds in the afternoon. Also put over a barrage for gas clouds. Went to bed about one in the morning. 5000 gas projectors were fired over at the Fritz and we put over a rolling barrage to inflict casualties on him while running to his dugout. Teltrol Gas.

All Irishmen in camp sent back to Stalag. Rumour goes that trouble has broke out between Ireland and England, they are to be asked who they will fight for if this is right, Jerry is up to all kinds of tricks. Snowing again, we’ve had about five months of it up to now.

Just about starving here hardly any food, nine to a loaf and nothing to smoke, roll on a long time. Cannot walk round for there’s barbed wire everywhere one looks, impossible to escape, this was a Jewish concentration camp, all nationalities here now.
