Day spent in rest. Marched from Heucourt at 8.30pm to Boygainville arriving about 2.00am. Owing to experiences of other warfare, men were kept down to a shadow. There were a few exceptions, but only in the cases of the Field Officers, to whom deserved privileges were extended.

The Colonel and Lieutenants worked hard and as a result good shelter was obtained.
