To Major Rankine
From 2/Lt R.W. Graham                                                                                      
  
I wish to draw your attention
to a field gun, which I observed
from the right section of our
trenches.
I could only estimate
the position through a periscope
as the snipers are very bad, &
should say it is distant about
50 yards.
I took the bearing -119° xx
of the extreme right of our trench

RW. Graham 2/Lt
     
As there is apparently no
attempt to bring this gun
into action, I should say
that it has been put out
of action.
