16 December 1916; Saturday

Busy as usual. Managed to get time to write a letter. Finished about 8 o’clock and went straight to bed.

Heard of a French victory at Verdun 1 and that they had advanced 2 miles on a 6 mile front.


  1. “French victory at Verdun”: Seemingly the closing stages of the Battle of Verdun (February – December 1916).
