Dear General Monash,

From guarded

remarks made by

late C.R.E I gathered

that you were not

over pleased with 

our digging efforts,

so I asked C/O. 44 Bn

to let me have

a progress report

of his work for four

days in line-night

21/22 to night 25/26

without letting him

BG. J H. CANNAN  25/4/18

 

2)
know reason I

wanted it for.

This however is first

time I have used

any C or D Bn in

forward works.  In

period under review

42 Bn supplied me

Coy 1 one post in JIId

2 assisted in reinforcing

C. T in J 18a & 3 part of new

C. T in J18a. and in

addition supplied

one Company for two nights

in joining up main AMIENS
