Just like yesterday, we hear the constant thunder of artillery. The Battle of the Somme is in full swing. Before our eyes aerial dogfights are taking place. Again and again German aircraft climb up into action. The sky is full of shrapnel clouds. We are about 20 km from the front. No doubt we won’t be staying in the village.
Last night, enemy aircraft flew over the village. They dropped bombs on the little railway station near Savy. We again spend the night sleeping in the stable.
Comme hier, nous entendons le tonnerre constant des canons. La bataille de la Somme bat son plein. Devant nos yeux se déroulent des combats aériens. Encore et toujours des avions allemands montent au combat. Le ciel est plein de nuages de shrapnel. Nous sommes à 20 km du front. Nous ne resterons sans doute pas dans le village.
La veille pendant la nuit il y avait des avions ennemis au-dessus du village. Ils ont lâhé des bombes sur la gare près de Savy. La nuit nous dormons de nouveau dans l’écurie.

La notte scorsa aerei nemici hanno sorvolato il villaggio. Hanno lanciato bombe sulla piccola stazione ferroviaria vicino Savy. Di nuovo dobbiamo trascorrere la notte nella stalla.
