The Road to Chunuk Bair

This day we spent at Highden. The work was company in the attack. Major Temperley was present critizing the work. The men got back to bivouac about 4 p.m. to find the far-famed Harry Lauder in camp and mounting a transport wagon he very generously gave the men a concert. The Officers of the 7^th Regiment including the O.C. Senior Major and practically all the officers who were not serving with the Expeditionary Force arrived about the same time and stayed to tea at the bivouc[sic]. It was very pleasant to see them all again and our farewell as their car pulled away from the glow of the bivouac fire will be long remembered. The night passed quietly.
