Uploader's Notes:
Herbert Hill White's WWI War Diary notes for Nov. 9th, 1917 (actually Nov. 8th:)
"Nov. 9 - Worked on new line from Gray Ruin Junction to Zonnebeke. Platoon had narrow escape when one of the German airmen dived through the clouds and dropped a bomb close to the grade we were working on but some how we all escaped. A lad of No. 4 Coy was killed on the job today and one of No. 4 Platoon (our Coy) killed near the "Bottle Corner"."
