Thursday 15/7/15 QUINN'S POST

Ruahine & H. Bay
returned to trenches 9 am. Fairly consistent
machine guns & bomb fire at intervals
but no special fighting. Several
slight casualties during day from
bombs. 5 pm Major Cunningham
went away (sick) and I
assumed command of the battalion
for the time being, leaving Lieut
Taylor i/c Ruahine Coy. Very
fine weather continues. Turks shelled
adjacent trenches with high explosive
doing some damage & causing
number of casualties.
