27th September 1940

Trenches were occupied from 9.30 till 9.45 and from 11.20 till 12.30 when there was again much overhead fighting and 2 planes were brought down, 1 in flames. The parents of 27 children now demand that the children shall run home when the siren goes as they consider the trenches unsafe - from the point of view of gunfire as well as damp.
