In the dusk of July the 7th we made our last preparations before going into the trenches. The Battalion was provided with a detachment of eight machine guns and a crew to man them. I was also furnished with a wagonload of small ammunition.
I addressed my girls, telling them that the whole regiment would take part in an offensive the coming night.
