Tuesday 2nd March
The 2nd Brigade finished shooting, 3rd Brigade
followed on. I succeeded in getting Colonel to allow all my remaining
subalterns to shoot, so now all my officers have conducted shell practise.
General Bridges was present. Moving targets generally used. One series against
new B.C. protecting shield provided by Colonel. Though fire seemed very
effective only one bullet hit the shield. Pow wow at conclusion of shoot.
General Owen gave lecture at night on ‘The Battle of the Aisne". Very
interesting.
