Change of weather. Cold snap. 6 hospital ships in anchorage this
morning. Some small 3 pounder shells whisked over us very close to our
home. One struck poor chap in 11th Btn further on. Saw him with one leg
right off, the other mashed, morphia was injected and he seemed to be
bearing up well, but died on way out to hospital ship. Issued with 1½
eggs per man.
