Diary of William Marshall: July-August 1916 July 4th 1916 Woke up this morning with a bleedin' backache, could barely move. Roberts due out of hospital today, bout time n' all. July 20th 1916 Been busy with digging the new trenches in Rouen. Me and Rob went to local pub. Bought me egg n' chips with lots of beer too. Got drunk that night. The cheeky little bugger was still limping from when he hurt his leg, I reckon he was putting it on, trying to get out of all the hard graft. Cheeky bugger, don't know what I'd to without him though. July 26th 1916 Went again to Rouen. Just got back. August 1st 1916 Today we got a full day's of rest, we deserved it n' all. Received letters from home. As usual some fellas were happy and some were sad. I was a happy fella, received a letter from Ma. They all well. Family is all...
