| 26 | Shelling again on No. 4 Coys area started the days activity by the enemy. The Div Cmdr visited the Bn. Greatly improved weather conditions made it possible to observe signs of enemy activity along the whole front, fresh digging which had taken place during the misty weather has been observed & a wire fence has been erected as of ISENBRUCH. It is now possible to say with some certainty there has been no relief on our immediate front. The fact that not all posn’s are constantly manned & and that the enemy change from one to the other indicates a desire to make us believe that he is stronger than he really is. Although the PW captured yesterday denied that there had been any thinning out. |
