Move at three A. M. to the front. It will be a bloody day. I believe I
am prepared to die. God bless my dear friends at home, — mother, father,
sisters, Agnes. Went into action about eight. Thick woods. Men behaved well. I
was struck in head about eleven. Carried to rear. Sent to the hospital in rear.
Lay there among the wounded and dying till night, when there was a falling
back, and I was put in an ambulance; . . . . knocked about all night. I slept a
good deal.
