War Diary [WO/95/2694]

At 6.15 p.m. the enemy blew up a mine opposite ALBANY STREET. It came short and only just reached the parapet of our listening post at the end of the above mentioned C.T. We had no casualties & the near lip of the Crater was reoccupied without incident and a new trench dug back to outpost line.

Our mine Gallery (S) near ALBANY STREET was damaged somewhat and there were several casualties among the French miners.
