[Insert: photograph of sign, 'Guillemont Avis', with manuscript note, 'Photographed February 1919' ] to pay Guillemont a visit & walk over the ground where our attack took place. The going must have been most difficult and the defences of the sunken roads & of the village itself appeared very strong. I saw a concrete machine gun emplacement which although heavily shelled two days before the attack was still standing though damaged. Dead Germans were still lying on the ground and in one small emplacement I saw eight or ten bodies. They should be buried but the difficulty is to find men to do the work. The dug outs in Brompton Road had not been destroyed and I saw some of our gunners using them. There was any quantity material [sic] lying about rifles,
