Monday 17 June 1918 – CBP and Clouds

Greg’s run of counter battery patrols continues.  This time, clouds both interfere and provide a refuge.  Water in the carburettor was a problem.

Diary

Monday June 17th.  E27.  Counter Battery Patrol.

Very cloudy.  Climbed up above clouds, very pretty but cold.  Hun machines very active. 

Dived down through clouds and got in a rain storm.  Too dud to get any information.
